Bonjour,
Ma Pixma iP1600 a décidé, au lieu de travailler, de clignoter 7 fois en orange en alternance avec 1 fois en vert. Un message d'alerte me dit aussi "qu'une cartouche est mal positionnée". J'ai vérifié "mille" fois les cartouches qui n'ont d'ailleurs qu'une seule position possible !
D'après le Guide Canon pour les imprimantes iP2200, iP1600 et iP1200, on lit aussi plus loin, mais est-ce mon cas :
"Remarque :
"Le voyant Alimentation (vert) et le voyant ALARME (orange) clignotent alternativement :
"Déconnectez le câble reliant l'ordinateur à l'imprimante, éteignez l'imprimante, puis débranchez son cordon d'alimentation du "secteur pendant un certain temps. Rebranchez ensuite l'imprimante et remettez-la sous tension.
"Si le problème persiste, contactez un représentant Canon".
J'ai débranché plusieurs fois en attendant des minutes, puis des heures, sans résultat. Puis j'ai téléphoné au centre de maintenance Canon le plus proche, et la dame (une technicienne de haut niveau sans doute), m'a dit dans la seconde qui a suivi, sans hésiter le moins du monde :
— C'est la tête qui est morte, il faut la changer, mais cela vous coûtera plus cher qu'une imprimante neuve.
Ben voyons ! En plus, il me semble que dans ce modèle, chaque cartouche d'encre a sa propre tête d'impression, non ?
J'ai aussi essayé différentes techniques de "reset" pour tenter de réinitialiser la machine, sans succès.
Au sujet de ces pannes sur des machines toutes jeunes, on pense maintenant qu'elles sont programmées par le constructeur pour se déclancher après un certain nombre d'allumages, de remplacements de cartouches ou autres gestes répétitifs. Le message d'alerte peut changer et se rapporter au réservoir d'encre usée, par exemple. Doit-continuer à se faire voler sans broncher et accepter qu'une imprimante vaille en réalité au moins 2 fois son prix, puisqu'il en faut une tous les 2 ou 3 ans?
Quelqu'un aurait-il un tuyau pour me dépanner ? Par exemple la manip de reset ?
Si ça peut aider, j'utilise un Mcintosh eMac OS 10.9.3. L'imprimante a près de 2 ans et n'a pas été surmenée.
Merci d'avance et bravo pour les experts passionnés parmi vous qui n'hésitent pas à donner de leur temps au bénéfice de la communauté.

Hello,
My Pixma iP5200 has decided, instead of working, to blink 5 times in orange alternating with 1 time in green.
I've checked the cartridges "a thousand" times, all good!
Does anyone have a tip to help me out?
Thanks in advance and kudos to the passionate experts among you who don’t hesitate to give your time for the benefit of the community.

Hello, my Canon S750 was showing the same symptoms. I therefore tested the reset of the ink reservoir counter as described by Toï. But before doing the operation, I unplugged the cable connected to the computer (I am by no means an expert and I don't know if this makes any difference, but I found this information on other forums). TOTAL success. Thank you for saving my printer from the trash!!!
I AM UNHAPPY BECAUSE MY PRINTERS ARE FAILING ONE AFTER ANOTHER
MP150 IT INDICATES "E" 2 I TRIED TO RESET IT, FOLLOWING THE DIFFERENT RESET METHODS NOTHING IT DOESN'T WANT TO COOPERATE
THE S 500 THE RESET DIDN'T WORK EITHER AND ACCORDING TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS I THINK IT IS DEAD BUT IT STILL FLASHES 7 ORANGE
AND THE BJC 3000 IS EVEN MORE CRITICAL BECAUSE IT IS ALSO FLASHING
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE AND BEFORE THROWING THEM AWAY I WANTED TO GET ONE LAST ADVICE TO BE SURE
THANK YOU

2. Press "Resume" and then "Power".
3. Release "Resume". Press "Resume" twice and release both buttons.
4. When the lights stop blinking, press "Resume" four times.
5. Press "Power" to turn off the printer; if it doesn't turn off, press once more.
Everything works up to step 4, as the lights at my place never stop blinking, even after several hours! I have a blinking "8 orange - 1 green" that keeps looping...
I disassembled the print head, cleaned it with distilled water, cleaned the contacts (which seemed clean), still nothing!
Can someone help me, or is my printer doomed???
after displaying "used ink tank almost full" for several days, I did some research here and attempted a reset of the counters, following the procedures described for the i9950, namely:
Canon S9000, S300, S400, i550, i560, i850, i860, i865, i9100, i9950, PIXMA IP2000 / IP3000:

Hello, I tried this technique, it doesn't seem to work. My printer is no longer blinking, the light is green. I'm trying to print a document, my printer "is not responding." I cleaned the printer head with a cotton swab, nothing happens.
Can someone help me?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE :)

Hi,
screwed as screwed this damn CANON I550 printer before throwing it in the trash I'm going to try a last-ditch rescue: I managed to save it for a little while longer by disassembling the print heads and letting them soak for 10 minutes in a container of water with a bit of white spirit. Then I rinsed everything under a hot water tap to flush out any ink that might come out of the nozzles. Finally, I dried everything with paper towels and finished it off with a hairdryer. Then I put everything back together and did a deep cleaning of the nozzles as soon as I reinserted them into the printer. And MIRACLE everything works perfectly like new again....

Hello everyone, I have a big problem with my s900, I can no longer reset it. I followed the procedure but when I get halfway, that is to say, at the moment of releasing everything, it starts flashing 7 orange and 1 green again. By the way, I've tried all the procedures but nothing works. What should I do? I'm desperate...
I have exactly the same problem as "jeffy2a" with my S900 when I try to reset it....
If I follow the reset procedure after removing the print head, it works, but as soon as I put it back in place, the 7 orange/1 green blinking starts again.
The electrical contacts of the head are not dirty and do not seem to be defective.
On the PC, the status window simply indicates "The printer is not responding."
Do I have to take it to the dump?

Hello, I had the same problem with a Canon S6300, it's an alert indicating that the used ink reservoir is full.
Here’s how I solved it:
- Turn on the printer, remove the print head, turn off the printer.
- Press the Resume button, then press Power while holding Resume down.
- Keep Power pressed and release Resume
- Keep Power pressed, press Resume twice (the light turns orange, then green)
- Release Power and wait for the green light
- Press Resume three times (orange light, then green, then orange)
- Press Power
Finally, turn off the printer, turn it back on, and reinstall the print head.

Hello,
here's how to solve this problem: hold down the power button, plug in the power cord, press the resume button 2 or 3 times, then release the power button. The printer will then be reset, and you can print.

I'm a s600 and I have the same problem 7 orange[...]. I tried the printer-related thing and the problem persists. Thank you for helping me.
Hello Echo,
Please note that there are two types of errors with 7 orange blinks on the S600:
- Series of 7 orange blinks only:
First, try the "official Canon" method: "Disconnect the cable connecting the computer to the printer, turn off the printer, then unplug its power cord from the wall outlet for a while. Then plug the printer back in and turn it on."
Otherwise, it is a print head/cartridge error. The cartridge may be defective and not recognized correctly, or the cartridge holder is overheating. If changing the cartridge doesn’t help, then the print head is dead (hence the printer is too).
- Series of 7 orange/green blinks: in this case, it is indeed the "full" ink reservoir, and therefore the reset procedure Canon series "S" printers.
Sometimes it may take several attempts before succeeding,
I hope this helps,
Sincerely,
Jann

Hello,
I tried the Cédric method, the different steps matched,
but it didn't work.
I'm not sure I understood the Khaled method (particularly regarding the power cable: plugged in at the start, then unplugged? The other way around?
Where is the waste ink reservoir? How can we check if the printhead is functioning (in working condition) or not?
Best regards,

5. Release everything: after a few moments, the printer enters "service mode".
How do we know that the printer is in service mode? For me, after step 4, the lights start blinking 7 times orange and once green.
Thanks again.

The exact procedure is as follows:
Canon i850, i950, S600
The printer must be turned off.
Press "Resume" then "Power."
Release "Resume."
Press "Resume" twice, then release "Power."
Wait for the green light to blink until the printer is ready, which means the lights will be steady.
Press "Resume" 3 times (and not 4!) and then "Power" to confirm the reset.
If this does not work after several attempts, it is likely that a reset procedure will not solve your problem: 7 orange blinks and one green indicate a print head issue; try the instructions provided above for this type of error.
Some users have been able to resolve this issue by leaving the printer unplugged for 24 hours and gently cleaning the print head contacts.
Best regards,
Jann

1 green and 7 orange for me too ...
the manipulations above with the buttons didn't work...(immediately?)
the next morning after unplugging it for 1 night, it was OK
later, it was down again, so I unplugged it ...
Once unplugged for a certain time, the printer restarts
test confirmed over 2 days/2 nights
I would lean towards a faulty power supply issue, in standby (= power cord plugged in)

Hello Cédric,
Thanks for the tips, but on the iP1600, there’s no print head; each cartridge serves that purpose. The suggested manipulation probably works for the S series, but not for me. On my machine, there are 2 alert lights, one green (power) and one orange (alerts). They cannot change color.
Since it indicates "cartridge misaligned," there might really be something with the cartridges. I should try some new ones. But spending €45 in the store without knowing if it will be useful...
Thanks anyway for the gesture.
Hello Khaled,
It wouldn’t work! Thanks anyway.

Hello Khaled,

My printer is a Canon S500 and it is not responding. It doesn't print; it just blinks orange 7 times and green 1 time.
In your case, it has nothing to do with a reset of the counter (the blinking code is the same but on your printer it has a different meaning):
It either concerns:
- the print head that has reached an abnormally high temperature. It has therefore errored out.
- a cartridge that may be defective.
If the problem appeared after the last cartridge change: change it.
Otherwise: remove all the cartridges and then reinsert them.
If the error persists, you need to replace the print head (Qy6-0034) .... which basically means buying a new printer.
Hoping to have helped you,
Jann

HELLO EVERYONE.
I have an MP730.
The green light (power/memory) is blinking slowly all the time.
Yesterday I had issue #345 (apparently a carriage problem), and after taking apart quite a bit, following another topic, to find what might be blocking the pump (which I never found), and by turning it off and on repeatedly, the error #345 disappeared.
Now I have this problem with the green light blinking continuously.
But I also have an issue with scanning using MP Navigator; it doesn't find my MP730, even though it works fine for printing or copying!!!

PS:
In fact, I took my MP730 out of the closet because I'm having problems with my MP780,
It prints well, receives faxes well, but when it comes to scanning, it's CATASTROPHIC.
When I scan in black and white at 150dpi to go faster, documents (text) always come out much lighter than the original, almost illegible, even if I increase to 300dpi.
And when I save the file as a PDF (still using MP Navigator), it’s even lighter.
I cleaned the glass, but it didn't help.
So I'm forced to use my flatbed scanner, the Epson 3170 Photo, which works very well, but scanning multiple A4 documents is very tedious.
Does anyone have an idea??
Can the contrast be adjusted for scanning??
Thank you.

First of all, thank you to you and Cedric, because it seems that the "reset procedure" is the right one. The only problem is that at the step where we are supposed to wait for the lights to stop blinking in order to press the resume button three times, the lights blink three times orange and then once green.
So I waited to see if the lights would stop blinking, but even after 24 hours of waiting, I still have the lights blinking three times orange and then once green. (ON AN IP 2000).
I have already disassembled the printer, cleaned the used ink reservoirs, and even cleaned the print head.
My questions are as follows:
- Is this combination of blinking (three times orange and then once green) normal?
- Is it caused by another problem?
- Why doesn’t it stop?
- Does anyone have a solution to propose?
Thank you in advance for the attention you will give to my request.
PS: (any relevant ideas are welcome.)

Good evening Pfoortz,
The problem comes from the print head: if this occurred after a cartridge change, simply replace it; otherwise, you should consider replacing the print head... or the printer.
Have a good evening,
Jann

Hello
I have a Canon MP210 printer and I have a small piece of paper stuck in the paper compartment but I can't get it out
How can I take it apart to fix it?

Hello benc1134,
At point No. 2:
You need to press "Resume," without releasing the button, then press "Power," without releasing it either.
Then move on to point No. 3.
If it still doesn't work: it means the procedure is not suitable for this printer.
I will do some research,
Good luck,
Jann

Thank you for your response!
I had already performed this procedure this way, without releasing the button...
Everything goes well until the moment I release "Power" after pressing Resume twice. Normally, there should be a green blink, followed by a steady green light. But that's when it goes to that infamous 8 orange / 1 green blink...
I will keep looking; I have about twenty cartridges left, and it would really annoy me to have to change printers!!
