Canon printer error

"Error B203"

The error code B203 is a very common problem and appears on all Canon printers quite often. This error typically arises when the users try to execute a printing command while the printer is unable to proceed it properly. The cause of this error is related to simple internal issues of the printer, such as a damaged printhead or a recent firmware update.

Canon printer error

"Error 5100"

Quick fix

The error 5100 implies a hardware problem. Most of the time, there is a carriage fault, which can include internal contamination, a fault in the carriage drive path, or a band printhead. This happens predominantly with components that are a wearing part. If you have just bought a printer and you get this error during the first set up, there might be some protective material or tape left inside the printer.

Canon printer error

"Error 5B00"
Icon Time

Quick fix

Sometimes, continuous ink systems can cause small ink spills inside the printer, which can fill up the ink pads in it and create error code 5B00. Once the inkpad absorber has filled up with ink, the error appears. If you are experiencing these issues with your Canon printer, you may want to consider resetting its ink counter.

Canon printer error

"Error B200"
Icon Time

Quick fix

The error B200 can either indicate problematic cartridges or a faulty print head. Even though the print head is one of the most important parts of a printer, since it distributes the ink from the cartridges onto the paper, you should be able to solve this issue. If not, you should go shopping for a new printer

Canon printer error

"Error e02"
