I am having issues with a Canon MP190 all in one printer. It was going to be scrapped because nothing would work due to the error code E27 (Ink absorber full).
I have since stripped it down and cleaned all absorber pads and re-assembled the machine but it is STILL giving me the same Error. I have searched numerous links for resetting this error but none of them work for my machine. So.....
My question is this - What is the link between the ink absorber and the display? There must be something to signal when the absorber is full? However when I had it apart there was no connection to the absorber what so ever?? There is a small peristaltic pump to suck through excess ink from the print heads and it is deposited to the absorber - nothing else?
So how does it know when it is full? I was hoping to disconnect it or even try and by pass it to get it working.
1.Enter the service mode SERVICE MODE – pressing buttons Menu, Copy, Scan, Copy, Copy
2.Choose TEST MODE.
3.Select 8 PRINTER TEST TEST MODE.
4.Choose 3, EEPROM CLEAR
5.Select 0, INK COUNT
6.Press the Set button.
7.Click Stop / Reset button (return to item 3), and again press the ON / OFF
Hey thanks for this but I have already tried several suggestions like this. This one however is totally wrong for my machine as it doesn't have a menu button. This is for the MPC - my one is the MP 190
There is another method that allows me to go into service mode by pressing down the power and stop buttons in a set sequence but that does not reset the machine. I was hoping for an electrical solution if possible?
I have seen some software solutions but have not tried any. The trick is to reset the internal software that counts. I believe it counts the number of times the nozzles were cleaned. My best guess would be to continue using Google looking for Canon tools software.
I got that issue with my Canon PC-65 copier. Upon power-up, the display reads "00", the green LED on the START button flashes, then the display constantly reads "E0". I took it to a Canon-authorized repair facility, awaiting word on its condition. Canon Canada closed my local repair facility, converting it to business account sales only. If the PC-65 fails, I also have a PC-7 copier to succeed it.
