If you type in 'flashing power light' in the problem box, for 5 you get print head failure, often it means the connectors between cartridge and print carriage are dirty, can be cleaned with a pencil eraser and a soft cloth. there is a sequence of checks and repairs to follow on the canon service page

I have a triangle error symbol in the lower right hand side of my printer, it has a lightning bolt inside of the symbol........what does this mean?

Canon printer light blinking error is a common error. Each printer features a flashing light to indicate its functionality. With Canon printers, you have flashing green and orange lights to inform you of any existing problems. It is suggested to carefully observe the number of flashes or the pattern of blinking lights as this will help you to understand the problem. And depending on the pattern, you can follow our canon printer troubleshooting guide mentioned below to solve that issue.

An error occured we cannot print a document which the orange light was blink semoustanousely

Damage canon printers, can be identified from the number of lights blinking in orange. So, you calculate, how many times the orange light is blinking. Example E2, E3, E4, E5, E8, E9, E13, E14, E15, etc.

I have a canon MP550 which has thrown up the error 6C10. I have tried the solutions suggested at FixYa, but to no avail. My printer's only 6 months old. Any suggestions? Regards Jan

It is my pleasure to guide you.


I have done some extensive research on your 'error 6C10'.


I have looked at the following:


QUOTE

PIXMA MP500 Printer
Canon Pixma MP500 Service Manual
http://www.printermanualguide.com/canon-printer/canon-pixma-mp500-service-manual.html

2-2. Service Call Errors (by Cyclic Blinking in Orange (Alarm LED) and Green (ON/OFF button), or Alarm LED Lit in Orange)

Cycles of blinking in orange (Alarm LED) and green (ON/OFF button) 16 times

Error [Error code] Valve sensor error [6C00]

Conditions An error occurred in the valve sensor during cleaning.

Solution(Replacement of listed parts, which are likely to be faulty) - Logic board ***'y (QM2-3078)
UNQUOTE


I realize that the '6C00' error is not exactly your but the manual does not have the 6C10. You can download that at the above link.


I also look at the http://www.retrevo.com/support/Canon-MP500-Multifunction-Printers-manual/id/259bh640/t/2/ Canon Pixma MP500 Users Guide Manual. There are several codes but not the 6C10. You can download this above as well.
Good luck and please post back that you are successful, giving thumbs up, or if I can be more helpful.

That is a service error code, but you need to count how many blinks between the longer green blink, and that tells the error code...
