How to Cleaning Clogged Canon Print Heads

Canon printers have a removable printer head that holds the ink cartridges. It is important to print a few pages in both black and color at least once per week in order to keep the ink flowing and prevent clogging.

If the printer head nozzles are blocked or dried out you will need to dissolve the dried ink. An inkjet nozzle has a diameter of about 45 microns which is about 1/2 the width of a human hair. Normally you can clear up minor clogs and streaking by running the cleaning cycle found in your printer's software utility.

However if the cleaning cycle doesn't do the trick in clearing up poor and incomplete output, don't give up and assume you'll need to buy a new printer head (which can cost more than a new printer). Canon owners have reported multiple ways to resolve this problem at little or not cost - some of the most popular methods are described below.

Below Steps for Manually Cleaning the Printer Head

Step 1

• Remove the ink tanks and printer head. Remove the ink tanks from the printer head tank holder) and seal them in a zip lock or other sealable plastic bag. Set them aside, preferably propped upright.

• Next remove the printer head (it snaps out). NOTE : You may want to wear latex gloves to help keep ink off your hands.

Step 2
Soak the printer head. There are multiple suggestions on ways to clean the printer head and all have some variation on the following :

• Get a small, shallow pan and lay down a layer or two of paper towels in the bottom of the container to protect the printer head circuitry from contact damage.

• Heat up (via microwave) enough purified/bottled water to cover the paper towels. You can also use a 50/50 mixture of ammonia and distilled water (about a pint will do). Heat the mixture in the microwave for about a minute or so - it should NOT be boiling.

• Slowly pour the water or mixture over the paper towels so that you have approximately 1/2 inch of liquid in the bottom of the pan.

• Set the printer head into the container on top of the towels. You should see ink 'bleeding' out. Move the print head to several different spots (about a minute each spot) and shake gently. This will dissolve the ink clogs.

• If the printer head is badly clogged let it soak for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. You can move it slightly to a different spot every hour or so.

Alternative Soak Method :
Mix a 50/50 solution of warm water and Windex and place in a shallow container, enough to cover the base of the printer head and ink ports. Leave for 2 hours while agitating the unit occasionally. Remove from the mix and lightly scrub the base and internal ink ports with an old soft toothbrush. Do not scrub the gold contacts but don't be concerned if they get wet. Return the unit to the mix for another 2 hours and agitate occasionally. Remove and scrub again as before.

Step 3
Flush the printer head with water.

• Hold the unit under a softly running warm water tap. Place your finger over the tap to create back pressure to allow you to squirt the water into all crevices of the printer head. You should see the gunk build up flow out. Do this until the water runs clear.

Step 4
Dry the printer head and replace.

• Remove the printer head and rinse it thoroughly with distilled water. Shake it dry and set it on folded paper towels to air dry. (Some folks use a hair dryer on a low setting to dry the printer head.)
• Reinsert the printer head and ink tanks. The printer should automatically do a "Printer Head Alignment." If it doesn't, manually perform "Printer Head Alignment" through the printer's utility. Next run a printer head cleaning cycle or two followed by printing a nozzle check pattern to check your progress.
• Repeat as necessary.

Variations on the Above Steps

• Soak the printer head in one of the proprietary solutions (Cartridge Flush, Magic Inkjet Flush) specifically designed to clear print heads. Soak the print head for about 10 minutes to overnight depending on the degree of blockage. It has also been reported that you can clean the print head with an electronic toothbrush and cleaning solution for about 20 seconds with excellent results.
• Use a full eye dropper to flush alcohol through the appropriate ink 'hole(s)' that show inside the printer head unit. Don't rush this: do a drop at a time or you might flood the inside of the unit.
• Purchase an ultrasonic cleaner. Wash the printer head under the water tap to remove excess ink. Load the cleaner with the printer head and water so that the printer head rests lengthways in the cleaner with the electrical contact surface visible. Repeat the cleaning program a few times, using clean water in each program.

Preventive Maintenance

• It's a good idea to regularly conduct preventive maintenance on your inkjet printer to prevent it from developing clogged printer heads. Printer heads become blocked for a number of reasons, but the most common is simply that the ink cartridge and the printer head have dried out.
• Never let the printer stand with an empty cartridge. Either fit a fresh one, or seal the print head unit in a plastic bag with a few drops of water for humidity. Since print heads become clogged when not used for long periods of time, regularly print a page or two to keep the print heads clear. Some experts say that it is better to print one colorful page a week than to run a printer cleaning cycle, because doing so uses a lot less ink. Ideally, printer cleaning cycles should be started once a week to prevent the printer head from getting clogged.

There are other more ink efficient ways to be able to clean printer heads that will prevent their clogging just as effectively as running the printer's cleaning cycle :

• Brush the printer heads with Q-tips soaked in water. Sources vary on whether alcohol would be more effective than water, but in the opinion of some printer experts alcohol can be harmful to printer heads and should thus be avoided.
• Buy a cleaning kit and use it regularly on your printer. A typical cleaning kit usually has a tube of ammonia that you can spray on the printer head to remove dried ink.
• Covering the printer when not in use to keep it free from dirt and debris also helps prevent the printer heads from getting clogged.

Canon PIXMA MP750 Error 6A00 E

Error 6A00 on my Canon MP750.

The alarm light was flashing and the LCD message said to "CHECK PRINTER (PRESS [OK])"

Here's what I did (after doing a hundred other things that didn't work):

1. Open the printer as if I was changing an ink cartridge.
2. The ink cartridge carriage did not move to the center as it should (one of the symptoms).
3. Moved the ink cartridge by hand to the far left to expose the ink purge area at the far right (under the area where the ink cartridge carriage typically parks itself).
4. Used a small make-up mirror from my wife and a flashlight to look for paper fragments or anything else that might be jammed around in the ink purge area. The mirror was indispensable for viewing areas I couldn't possibly see otherwise.
5. I found a some ink-soaked paper fragments crumbled against a roller near the ink purge.
6. Now the fun part. While wearing a head flashlight and viewing the small paper jam in the mirror, I used tweezers and needle nose pliers to extract the paper. It was like "Operation," a game I played as a kid, except every movement I made was backwards because of the mirror. It also required some moves that would challenge a circus contortionist.
7. Closed up the printer, hit the okay button, and the printer made some noise like it might work. Unfortunately, the alarm light stayed on. I opened the printer again and noticed that the ink carriage repositioned itself. I took this to be a positive sign as it didn't do this before.
8. Closed up the printer again and hit the okay button again. After several "please wait" messages on the LCD, and positive sounding noises from the printer, the alarm light went out and the printer seemed ready to print.

How to Fix Error Code U071 Canon Pixma MP830

Fix Error Code U071 Canon Pixma MP830 from Canon tech support. “It could be one or more bad ink tanks that are causing this issue. I say this because you mentioned that it is usually the cyan ink tank, but if others are bad, we want to ensure that we take care of those as well.”

For troubleshooting purposes, please perform the following :

1. Open the printer and remove all ink tanks.
2. Insert a single ink tank in the printer then close the cover.
3. Confirm whether the printer recognizes the installed tank properly. If it does, it will indicate it does not detect the other ink tanks, as they are not currently installed in the printer.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with another ink tank.
5. If the printer at any time indicates two of the same ink tanks are installed, the cause will be the last tank installed. For example, if you inserted an ink tank earlier, and you later inserted another ink tank, and it said two of the same inks were installed, the cause of the issue is the last ink tank.

Troubleshooting on Printer Canon MP530

Canon released the PIXMA MP530 as an all-in-one home printing appliance. The device can handle most small office duties, including printing, faxing and scanning, and is ideal for individuals who have limited desk space for multiple appliances. The device may occasionally malfunction, but you can troubleshoot it.

Follow the instruction :

1. Verify that the MP530 is connected to a power source. The power cable should be plugged into the slot on the right side of the back panel and the "ON/OFF" button on the front panel should be pressed.
2. Check that you've connected the MP530 to all relevant external devices if the machine isn't responding to the external device or if you're getting a data error displayed on the MP530's screen. If using it as a fax machine, connect the telephone line to the telephone jack on the left side of the back panel. If using the device as a scanner, connect it to your computer using its USB cable.
3. Make sure you've installed the MP530's drivers on your computer if your computer cannot communicate with the appliance. Insert its included installation disk into your Windows or Mac computer. The CD will automatically launch an installation program on a Windows PC; press "Easy Install" and follow the on-screen prompts. On a Mac, double-click the CD icon on your desktop and select "Setup" in the window.
4. Align the MP530's printing head if your printing results look skewed or crooked. Insert five A4-sized sheets of plain paper into the printer's back sheet feeder. Press the arrow keys on the printer's front display until it reads "Auto Head Align." Press "OK" and the printer will automatically print test sheets and align its own printer head.
5. Contact Canon's technical support line toll-free at 800-652-2666 if you still cannot get the MP530 to function properly. Your printer may need servicing due to a hardware malfunction. The support representative can provide further information on servicing and the locations of regional service centers.

Canon Pixma MP800 Troubleshooting Guide

Canon designed the PIXMA MP800 as an all-in-one printer, copier and scanner. It appeals to the home user who needs these office services but is limited for desk space. Even the best Canon printer can stop working. Troubleshoot your PIXMA MP800 to help find and fix common underlying problems that may affect the printer's performance.

Canon Pixma MP800 Troubleshooting Guide

1. Make sure the MP800 is plugged into a reliable power source-for the best results, plug it directly into an outlet instead of using an extension cable--and powered on if its front display panel is dark.
2. Check the front and back paper feeder slots if the MP800 makes strange noises or stops printing halfway through a printing job. The device may be clogged. Remove any pieces of paper that may be stuck.
3. Review the front LCD display screen for an error. The error message typically describes what's wrong and how to fix it.
4. Adjust the MP800's print head if your printer results look crooked or off-balance. Press the "On/Off" button to turn off the device, then turn it back on. Insert two A4-sized (letter size) sheets of plain paper into the MP800's top feeder slot. Press "Maintenance" on the MP800's display screen and use the arrow keys to scroll down to "Manual Head Align." Push "OK" and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the alignment process.
5. Clean the MP800's scanner bed if the LCD screen displays an error saying, "Cannot Obtain Clean Scan" or if your scanning results look streaked, splotched or obscured by debris. Canon recommends wiping the glass with a clean, lint-free cloth. Solid debris deposits can be removed with water. Don't use glass cleaners, as this may damage the MP800.
6. Dial the Canon printer support line at 800-652-2666 if you still can't get your PIXMA MP800 printer to work correctly.

How to Load Canon MultiPASS 360 With Ink Cartridges

The Canon MultiPASS 360 is an ink jet printer. The ink cartridges travel in a carriage, which moves from side to side inside the machine as the ink is sprayed on pieces of paper.

How to Reset the Chip on CLI-8BK Ink Cartridge

Certain Canon print cartridges are outfitted with a microchip that lets the printer and Canon software on the computer know if the ink cartridge has come directly from Canon or has been refilled. If the cartridge has been used before, the printer will not work until a new Canon print cartridge is installed. To save money, some people either refill print cartridges themselves or they buy refilled cartridges online. There is a way to reset the microchip for a CLi-8BK Canon ink cartridge so it will work in the printer

Resetting the Chip

1. Purchase a Canon chip resetter, which is available through some online ink cartridge refill stores.
2. Remove the refilled or aftermarket Canon CLi-8BK cartridge from its packaging.
3. Place the ink cartridge on the chip resetter. Make sure the chip end on the bottom of the cartridge is pressed up against the resetter's pins to make a connection.
4. Wait for the LED light on the ink cartridge to blink once, then light up solidly. This means the chip on the ink cartridge has been reset and it will now work in the printer.
5. Turn on the printer and open the access door. Remove the old cartridge and install the new cartridge. Close the printer door and begin using the printer

How to Bypass the Microchips on Canon Inkjet Cartridges

Certain Canon printer models have a microchip that tells the printer how much ink is left in the cartridge as well as if the cartridge came directly from Canon. If you are using a refilled or aftermarket cartridge in a Canon printer, the ink monitoring software will block the use of the cartridge. There is, however, a way to get around the monitoring software.

Follow the instruction below :

• Turn on your Canon printer and wait for the warm-up process to complete. Open the printer's access door and wait for the cartridge carriage to come to a complete stop.

• Remove the cartridge to be replaced and insert the refilled or aftermarket cartridge. Close the printer's access door.

• Wait for the printer to detect the new cartridge. An error message will come up on the screen to say the printer cannot detect the ink level on the new cartridge.

• Click on "Yes" to indicate that you want to use the new cartridge despite the risk of damage to the printer if the cartridge leaks.

• Click on "Yes" one more time to acknowledge that you understand Canon will not be responsible for damage done to the printer by the new cartridge.

• Press and hold the "Resume" button on the printer for at least five seconds. The "Resume" button will be flashing. If your printer does not have the "Resume" button, press and hold the "Ok" or "Cancel" button.

• Use the printer as normal, keeping in mind the ink monitoring software will not show the ink level for the new cartridge.
