SOURCE: How to correct error 5100 on a cannon pixma MP 530
I would do all of the following and see if yo can clear this code. It is
not on any Canon list of possible codes, so I have no idea what it
means., but let's do this:
Turn off the printer and unplug it. Remove
the print cartridges. Look at them, are they leak free? Look into the
cartridge holders. Are they clean?. Dried ink or blobs should be cleaned
off with a little alcohol and a Qtip.
Are the little wire holders bent or broken? Do they look exactly the same?
Turn the printer back on reinstall the cartridges.Check in your printer preferences/services and clean your cartridges.
Turn the printer back on reinstall the cartridges.Check in your printer preferences/services and clean your cartridges.
Now
turn it off again and unplug it. Open the paper jam door and gently
push the paper roller forward until it clicks. At the same time, look
for even the tiniest scrap of anything in there. Close the paper jam
door and plug your printer back in. Restart your computer.
If the
problem is not solved. You may need to reinstall the printer. Do You
have your original disc? Be sure to do a clean install. ( Turn off all
running programs in the lower right corner including your virus control.
Also go to Toolbar>tools>internet options>general>and
delete all you cookies and temporary internet files.) Turn off and
unplug your printer.
Reinstall the software. When it is finished if
it has not told you to plug your print back in do so now. Restart your
computer and turn your printer on.
I hope this helps. Good luck to you.
