Error code 6A80 on Canon printers

Solution 1:

• Switch the printer OFF
• Press buttons 1 + 2 + 3 and 4 (simultaneously using four fingers)
• Keep pressing this four buttons for 10 seconds
• Release the On/Off button (number 4) (Keeping pressing the others)
• After a few seconds (when the printer go ON), release buttons 1, 2, 3

Solution 2 (Thanks to Dick):

• I discovered that the head was blocked from moving all the way to the right by a white nylon lever and discovered that there was a thin, small pad that had come loose and was blocking the mechanism to activate the head motion. 
• One pad was about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and a second was a narrow 3/32 x 1/2 inch pad both about 1/16 thick. 
• I removed these pads and the printer returned to normal

How to Troubleshoot Canon Printer Problems

Canon is a brand of computer printers that makes commercial products that are available around the world. If you enjoy one of their printers at your home or office you may at some time experience some slight performance errors. These problems are usually easily fixed by following a simple troubleshooting process, which will take you just a few minutes. If you continue to experience printer failure or the problems become more severe, contact your Canon supplier for technical support.

1.     Connectivity Problems

Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet. The power cable should be connected in the back of the printer and to a working electrical socket.

Check that the wire from the printer is running to the correct port on the computer tower. The wire runs from the small, square port on the printer to one of the USB ports on your tower or laptop computer.

Turn the printer on. Much of your printing failures can be avoided by making sure that the power is turned on before selecting the print command.

Install any updates or replacement software needed to run your printer on your computer. You can get this software from the manufacturer's website and will be notified through your printer drive if there is something new to download.

2.     Feeder Problems

Pull out all of the paper supply in the printer and make sure that all pieces of paper are flat and whole. Any folded corners, crumpled sheets or torn pieces should be thrown away.

Check the size of the paper you are using and check the paper guide on the supply to make sure the paper is the correct size. The paper guide is the small plastic clip that holds the paper steady in the feeder.

Open the cover of the printer and make sure there is no paper stuck within the feed rollers. You should pull out the jammed paper if there is any, including any little torn pieces that may be stuck inside.

Clean out the feed rollers with compressed air to remove any dirt inside the printer and refill the paper supply.

3.     Ink Problems

Check the ink levels in your cartridges to see if you have to replace the ink. You can do this through the control panel of your printer software. If you don't know where to find these controls, just search your computer for 'printer drive'.

Open the cover of the printer and wait for the ink cartridges to stop in front of you within the printer. This will allow you to take them out and replace them with full ones.

Pull the cartridges out of the printer. The number of cartridges and how to remove them will vary with your model of printer, but usually there is a small clip holding the top edge of the cartridge in place. Just push this clip back and pull the ink out.

As with all technical equipment, printers can misbehave. Follow the steps below to diagnose Canon printer problems.

Check for a paper jam. Paper jams occur when one or more sheets of paper become stuck in the feeding or printing mechanism. Gently remove any jammed paper and reset the printer.

Check ink levels. Those ink cartridges run out fast. If your printer looks like it is printing but nothing comes out on the page, you might be out of ink. Try replacing the cartridge and printing again.

Check for a clogged print head. If you know you have ink, the print head might be clogged. Navigate to "Control Panel > Printer > Right Click > Properties > Maintenance > Clean Cartridges" to attempt to clean the print head.

Check printer drivers. Navigate to "Control Panel > Printers > Right Click > Properties > Update Driver" to check for a new driver for your printer. You can also find drivers and software on the Canon Support site (see Resources).

o    7

Resolve Wrong Cartridge Message. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord. Remove the cartridges and the print head. Clean the print head in lukewarm water. Set it aside to dry. Clean the contacts gently with an eraser and wipe with a tissue. Reinstall the print head and reinsert the cartridges. Run a cartridge alignment.
