Fantastic ! worked pretty good ! thank you very much ! MX300
no test page prints. if I skip it, in the end just stays on “set ink cartridge”
I have tried this twice now and it’s not working. The printer goes into Factory mode fine, but never gets out of that mode and into shipping mode! What do I do now??
after this my mx300 is on japan zone any idea?
IT WORKING PRETTY GOOD .THANKS
Sorry to say – but this did not work for me at all. I couldn’t even get it to go into factory mode.
Tried this with my MX310. Only thing I needed to do differently was press the reset button twice while holding the power cord down, instead of just press and hold. Followed all the rest of the directions and it works! Thanks 🙂
Tried this with my MX320 but it doesn’t seem to work. It goes into “service mode – idle” but won’t do anything else. Nothing comes up when I press ‘>’. Please help!
You actually have to press the cancel button 3 times while you can see that the light under the triangle goes on and off. This will bring you to the correct factory mode
Okay. correction. After i have tried it a lot off times. Pressing the reset button twice actually took me to the correct factory mode and it suddenly turned into idle. Maybe it was because i lifted and closed the coved?
xcellent, worked perfectly for my PIXMA MX-308 as well.

boa noite.
como posso fazer o reset a estaçao de limpeza de uma canon MX300
Translatedd:
goodnight.
how do I reset the station cleaning a canon MX300
It took a few times to get it right. I had to push the Red Stop/Reset button 2x, to get Factory1. If you press it 3x, like another site said to, you get Factory2, which may confuse others as much as it did me. Also, be sure to leave lid open until the cartridges are all the way over on left side so you can remove them correctly 😛 It takes a couple min for them to stop sliding left and right but they eventually settle on the left.
