Unplug the printer for at least 2 minutes from the wall.

2. Plug the printer back in but leave the printer turned off.

3. Enter Service Mode

a. Hold Stop/Reset button and the Power button for 5 seconds

b. Release Stop/Reset button but continue to hold Power button

c. Press Stop/Reset twice

d. Release the Power Button

e. Wait for the light to stop flashing. The printer is now in service mode. The display may be blank or simply read "Canon" during this time.

4. Do an EPROM reset.

a. Press the Stop/Reset button 3 times.

b. Press the Power button twice. The printer will save the changes and then it will reboot. A little cd/dvd icon will appear in the LCD screen.

3. The printer will probably now require the same setting up as when you first unpacked it. That is, you will need to select a language and let the printer do a head alignment.

The printer is now enabled.

Hello,
make sure you removed the orange tape from the cartridge.
usualy E5 is when the color cartridge is faulty but if the orange tape is on the cartridge it will show E5.
if you removed the orange tape an it still shows E5 go with the cartridge to the store where you purcess it for excange.

The E5 error is indeed an error regarding the print cartridges. Are you using original Canon ink. If not then the brand you are using may not be compatible. I would do an eeprom reset and see if that helps. Service manual here, will show you how:

Dear all,
Error code 5100 indicates CR (carriage return) error occurs. There are 2 possibilities of this case: Film timing **** strip is dirty or carriage part is faulty. Look inside your printer. There is a film, installed in horizontal position. Try to clean this film first;wipe carefully with moistened clothe. If the problem still persist, it seems that carriage is faulty.
Regards,

wheres the answer? I am having the same problem right now, just bought 2 new ink cartridges and its not that,,,,

Try this... it worked on my MP450... Turn the printer on and open the lid, it shows the cartridges. Now let the cartridges settle to the left. You can notice that the cartridges run on a metal belt. It might be dirty, mine showed a black stripe on it. Take a cloth, a cleenex will be fine and clean it up. Move the cartridges to the right (force them with your hand) and clean the part of the belt left behind them. Now turn it off, close it up and turn it back on. It should work

I have been facing same error and this was the solution.
