E42 is a scanner error.
Turn off your printer and unplug from electrical outlet.
Wait at least 20 minutes.
This will allow the scanner lamp and components to cool.
Plug printer back in and turn on printer.

E42 means there is a scanner error. Canon website suggests you turn off the machine, and unplug the power cord from the power source. Wait approximately ten minutes, plug the power cord back in and power on the machine.

According to:

E15 means the Ink cartridge is not installed.

Both a black and color cartridge need to be properly inserted to clear this error.
