My MP830 will not print. It shows error code 5C10 and makes a loud, quick repeating clanking noise. Any suggestions?

When the printer is not functioning properly it may need to be reset. Make sure that this code is not being generated from a paper jam. Consult your manual for all the ways to check for paper jammed in the printer. (You may not be able to see the paper jam).

Then try a reset as follows:

1) On the printer panel, press and hold the <On/Off> button for one second (the display will go blank). If it does not, unplug the power cord.

2) Wait approx. ten seconds. If unplugged, plug it back in. Otherwise, press the <On/Off> button again.

3) Wait for the machine to cycle through its startup routine before trying a print job.

Received a service error 5C10, what do I need to do?

No 5C10 code to refer. I assume your error is 5010. If yes, that's mean your scanner unit is not functioning well. Need to replace it.

Service error 5c10, error code 6a00 wored

6A00 is the error when the purge assembly is broken or jammed. You need a shop to install a new one since the entire print engine has to come out to replace it.

6A00 error

The error seems to indicate a failed sheet feed, check the paper path to see for any stuck bits of paper, however I have heard that this can also be caused by a flaky sensor in the paper path.....

apparently the best way to deal with this is to turn it upside down and give it a shake.

hope this helps

Error Codes 6A00 and 5C10

I tried everything suggested on other posts (cleaning paper feeds and making sure rollers were free, moving carriage back and forth manually, etc)., but nothing worked. With it still plugged in, I turned the whole thing upside down and shook it. It hummed and buzzed, and moved the carriage a couple of times. Viola, problem solved. Go figure.
