Error 5C00 results when trying to print

That is probably some paper or a foreign object inside the machine. Check around the waste station and at the far end of the printhead travel in both directions. Remove any found foreign objects and restart the printer. If there is nothing there to find - it is probable that the is a mis-alignment of the gear train that selects the various functions of cleaning, paper feed, and waste purging. In that case, there is not a lot you can do short of a complete strip down and rebuild with no guarantee of succes.

Probably not. It is likely that the gear train has dropped out of sequence, and that is extremely difficult to reset.

I have the same problem & it's driving me nuts! Can anyone help with this or is it a throw away job?

Try:

• ERROR LCD: Error code (5xxx through 9xxx) appears on the display

clean compleatly using one brush

5C00 is a purge unit error, thats the cleaning unit on the right where the printhead parks. Look inside with a flashlight, if nothing is blocking it's operation, you willl need a new print engine, qm2-2020-000 around $150.00

5C00 is a purge assembly error, look inside on the right with a flashlight, make sure there is no paper scrap or or anything that doesn't belong. If nothing is there you need a new print engine, QM2-2020-000 around $100.00

5100 Make sure nothing is blocking the cartridge movement, if not requires service.

if your printer is flashing 4 orange and then back to green repeatedly - i found a solution to it for my ip90v - i opened the printer and checked the right hand side cogs - carefully turn them and you may see that some stray paper jam debris is blocking the cleaning unit from returning to its home in the bottom front of the printer - carefully remove it and replace the casing - turn on and with any luck you will have a dully functioning ip90 like i did.

Hope it helps some others out

4 times is usually Automatic print head alignment
Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or letter) in the ASF.and adjust.
