CANON MX318

If you encounter a problem or an error like "Ink absorber is full" or Error Code 27 or "Error Code 5B00".
Its mean that the Printer Counter Protection is Full and it required a reset and Ink wastepad
replacement, if you want your printer to work again. There are two ways to reset the Canon MP (all in
one) printer, One is by using a Software tool and the other is manually resetting the EEPROM of the
printer. Below is the step by step procedure on how to reset your Canon MP (All in One) printer.

Please follow the step by step procedure to reset your Canon Pixma MX318 Printer
Turn off the Printers.
Press and Hold the "Stop/Reset" button then press POWER button.
Release the "Stop/Reset" button while keeping POWER button on press.
Press "Stop/Reset" 2 times and then release all the buttons.
Note: If the above was properly performed the printer will enter the "Service Mode".
Press the "Stop/Reset" button 4 times, this will select the clear waste ink counter function. The lamp will
alternate (change) color with each key press.
Mode:
1. Service/Factory test printout, including ink sensor check.
2. EEPROM - Info printout.
3. EEPROM - Initialization.
4. Reset the Waste ink counter.
After selecting the desired mode (eg 4), press the POWER button to "set" the change, and return to the
top of the function selection menu. Press the POWER button again to restart the printer. Or unplug the
printer to turn off.
On the Canon Pixma MX318 Printers, And your done!
Warning: Getting rid of the error message wont change that you might end up with ink leaking out of
the printer if you dont either replace or clean the ink wastepad.

Canon Pixma Mp258 Error Code and Possible Solution


P02 (Carriage error)
Make sure no foreign material stuck to the print head railway.
Clean and check the print head encoder strip cable (timing slit film or encoder strip is a white line on the
back of the box set of ink lines may be missing or mess up the ink.
P03 (Line feed error): an error in transmission line entering the line feed (LF) is a signal telling the printer
to move to another line or a whole new line that would not otherwise have reached the end of the line.
Check wire print head position (timing slit disk film) on the side of the machine.
Check PCB logic board.
P05 (ASF sensor error) sensor for paper feed error.
Try to replace the following:
ASF / PE sensor unit.
Drive unit.
PCB logic board.
P06 (Internal temperature error): caused by abnormal heat inside the printer.

P07 (Ink absorber full): the Ink Wastepad (sponge) inside the printer is full
Replace the wastepad inside the printer or install waste ink bin outside the printer
then Reset counter protection.
P08 (Print head temperature rise error): caused by thermal print head temperature exceeds a threshold.
Replace the new cartridge print head and / or change a new logic board.
P09 (EEPROM error): caused by corrupted or defective EEPROM chips of the printer.
Replace the logic board.
P15 (USB VBUS over current): caused by too much current, try removing the USB cable and then plugin
again, if solve the error, try to replace with a new USB cable. If the error still exist replace the logic
board.

P20 (Other hardware error): The failure of other hardware.
Try to replace the logic board.
P22 (Scanner error): a scanner malfunction.
try to change the scanner unit or change a the logic board.
E13 or E16: Ink has run out

Pressing the Stop / Reset button for 5 to 8 seconds until the led screen display number 1.

E04, E05, E14 or E15: Cartridge may not be installed properly
Reinstall the ink cartridge.
