Error code 5C00 refers to possible paper jam or product needs reset or service.

It is possible that a previous paper jam has left a piece of paper inside the machine. If you cannot see any paper jammed at either input area, open the rear cover and look in there. Otherwise, you can try to reset the product:

Reset the printer:

1. Turn the printer off with the Power button

2. Disconnect the data cable from the printer

3. Unplug the printer's power cord for approximately 10 minutes, and then plug it back in. Attach data cable.

4. Turn the printer back on

If all of these suggestions fail, your MX700 may require repair service.

What does error code 5c00 in a canon mx700 printer mean?

Hi, 5C00 is a purge unit error, the purge is the cleaning unit on the right where the print head parks when shut off. If paper or something is caught in there you get an error, also ink build-up can stop it as well, a damp Q-tip will clean some of the ink away, if it doesn't help you need a new purge assembly.


Hope it helps.

Thanks for using fixya..........
