The 6A80 indicates that the mechanism called the `purge unit' does not work correctly. In some cases after a paper jam, some paper gets in the unit. Try this:
Turn on the unit and open the cover. Hopefully, the printhead will come to the center. If it doesn't, unplug the printer and try to move the printhead by hand, to the left. Do not force it. If you are able, get a flashlight and inspect the area inside the unit to the right. There may be bits of paper in that area. Being careful, remove it with a tweezers or some such tool.
If you cannot see anything, then the machine will need to be dismantled for service. I recommend authorized service.
i have found a tiny pierce of paper struck inside and i have removed it but it still same. the paper that struck inside is on left hand side and right hand side i see dun have any paper inside. the error code still blinking.
You have done all that you can do, short of dismantling it. I recommend it be serviced. The MX700 is a fairly new model, if it's less than a year old, it is still under warranty.
