You can disable the “NO INK” warning by pressing and holding the Stop/Reset (red triangle in circle) button for more than five seconds.
On my MP210, I changed the color cadride with a refilled on, and tried your manipulation but it didn’t make it:
After pressing 4 times “Resume” and then “start” once, it did nothing. When I pressed “start” again, the printer printed “D=0.000 Ps=0.003” and did not shutdown after.
When I finally shutted it down, the light for the color cadrigde was still on.
I also tried pressing “Resume” 1 to 3 times:
1 Time: Printed a bigger report with some color lines
2 Times: Printed an even bigger report containing among other informations the raw EEPROM information in hexadecimal),
3 Times: The printer shutted down, and when I turned it on, both black ink and color ink warnings were blinking for a while, and then only the color one remained :(.
Though, I can print (even before I tried these manipulations), but even black and right pictures seems to be a little red-colored, and I though it was due to the fact that the low color ink warning was ON.
Thank you if you can help me.

I’m stuck in Service mode now! Mine never said “reset counter absorber” all I get is “Idle” I had to unplug it and start over, but all I get are weird pages… one with some color bars and a barcode and one with the printer info and some code that I do not understand. I’m stuck… any help would be greatly appreciated. MP470 here with the CL-41 cartridge in case it matters.
Thank you
I am afraid, I tried this manoevure but there is no response other than the usual booting of the printer with the same ink error as U051.Obviously, the printer “wouldn’t budge an inch”rather very resolute and no actions can be conducted. I use a MP180 cannonprinter. Any help is well appreciated.

When I was using Linux exclusively, I had no problem using refilled cartridges in my MP460. I installed XP on another partition, and it seems my printer driver’s installed some firmware to the printer to stop me using non-canon cartridges. Well, the price they are, this printer’s going in a skip. I’m f***ing annoyed that I can’t use cartridges I choose in MY printer, which I paid for!! I’m totally sick of having my hardware owned. Never again will I use windows.
i try what you say to us but the main problem is that the refiled ink cadride/s dont get recognizeds from the machine.
pls is there any prog tha can help us not to throw away the machine with the ink?!….

hiya aye have a canon pixma mp180
and aye have a new computer and cant get it set up as aye have lost the disc can u please help just got some ink and its going to waste please help me thanks xxx
I have identical problem as Georgi (posted 10-SEP-2009); I got the CL31 refilled and could not get it working. MP140 indicated the cartridge not recognizable.
BTW, the Alarm light is ON the moment I switch on the printer.
Tried the above procedure several times, zero never appears!
Tried another procedure for MP150 (i.e. un-plug power cord first………) few times as well, also cannot reset the printer.
Any other idea?
Thanks. I followed the instructions and then put the cartridge in again and it worked.
Check you haven’t left the tape over the contacts like I did!
Error code 5 indicates that either the cartridge is not inserted correctly, the chip is dirty, or it is faulty. So firstly take the cartridge back out, re-install it and see if it works OK. If not gently clean the contact points with some Alcohol (Metho will also do) and reinsert it. If at first it still displays error 5 then try inserting it a few times, but if it continues to display error 5, then sadly it is time for a new one.
If you get error code 3 it means that the cartridge is reading as empty. If it has been refilled simply hold down the Stop Reset button for 5 to 10 seconds, until the printer starts to do a self test. It will now override the empty cartridge warning and you can print as normal.
I tried this step by step several times, but the printer just make a lot of noises and still swhos U051 error…???
Grrr… I want to use the scanner, not to print any document!!!
hola, hice lo que esta escrito, si me ayudo pero cuando lo apago y lo vuelo a prender me sale los mismo, parpadea y me señala el cartucho de color, cuando vuelo hacer de nuevo los pasos se soluciona lo apago lo prendo y de nuevo, si puedes entender mándame un mensaje a mi msn, gracias,

hi, I am using canon MP 530 series printer and its showing error code no. 5B00. What does it mean ?
My service executive told me that my printer has to be reset to remove that error. But I am not able to reset. Then my service technician told me that I need original cartridges to reset my printer.
What should I do ?
For MP160
Sir, there’s a big diff between “service mode” and “low level” mode. They are not the same.
Here are instructions:
The MPTool is designed for service works with the printer Canon MP-Series
when in Low-Level mode. This is NOT the same as “service mode”
Currently supported for
MP150, MP160, MP170, MP180, MP450, MP460. MP150, MP160, MP170, MP180, MP450, MP460.
BEFORE activating MPTool…you need to
To activate LOW LEVEL mode:
1. Unplug the power cord to the printer for a moment.
2. Then, hold down the on/off button while plugging in the power cord.
Keep holding the on/off button down.
3. Right away the green power light (in the button) will turn on solid.
Keep holding the on/off button down.
4. Press and release the Stop/Reset button.
(the button w a red triangle in a red circle)
5. Now you can release the on/off putton.
The green power light will go off and the yellow Alarm light will stay on.
Now you can run MPTOOL and resetting the ink counters will work.
Your printer will show up as “another” Cannon printer.
When you finish you must again unplug the power cord for a moment
and then just plug it back in. After you do this, you’ll see both
printers listed in Printers (controll panel) and one will show as
offline. You can then rename this offline printer as “Low Mode Canon”
or whatever works for you so you don’t mix it up with other functions.
These instructions took some time to translate from Russian, so I hope
you enjoy! Cheers!

I have a Canon Pixma MP240 and when I am trying to print it will start to pull the paper in and then stop and give me an error message of E2. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix?
I have a Canon Pixma MP190, there is error 27. Someone have the reset code or software reset?? Thanks
I have tried all these options and none of these instructions are useful. I have a Canon pixma MP180, That last option as described by show gun operates to the 2nd last line of his procedure. Eventually, when you momentarily unplug and replug the printer the power shuts of and when we restart as normal, it indcates the usual check ink error U051. Any number of attempts to surmount that step is futile. Has anybody with these instructions suvived to print normally?
Regards,

FOR SHOGUN – January 19, 2010
With the Canon Pixma MP460, I was really excited when I followed your procedure and everything seemed to be happening as you stated it would. I ran MPTool and saw that both black and color cartridges seemed to be reset and showed 100%. I went to Control Panel and changed the name of the second MP460 to “Low Mode Canon” as you suggested. However, after finishing the instructions, unplugging and replugging in the printer, the amber light came on and the display showed that the ink cartridges were not recognized. And so, I am back to square one. Were there any additional steps that were somehow left out of your procedure? I selected the renamed printer in Control Panel and made it the default, but when trying to print a test page, it would not print and suggested using the “troubleshooter” (which I did without success either). Please help with any further suggestions if you have the time to respond. Thanks. Chuck
For the MP240 just hold down the red button (circle with triangle in it) for about 15 seconds. This resets the cartridge, the led will still flash but it will print. I have tried this and it works. (your printer needs to be on BTW, just in case you wondered 🙂

Hey, it works !
I was scanning Color negatives using MP Navigator and when it finished a scan, it would scan any more. I Scanned a document and it worked fine. After trying some fixes, I reloaded the CD-ROM and tried it, but it still didn’t scan. I keep getting “scan failed” on the screen. Could the scanning bulb be burned out? I don’t want to lose this great machine.
Canon MP220 with U163 (and U051, maybe) error code. I’VE FIXED IT.
First, the instructions on all these forums to get into service mode are slightly wrong. Here’s how to get there:
With printer off, but connected to power supply:
1. press+hold resume (orange circle with triangle inside)
2. press+hold power
3. whilst holding power, release resume
4. continue holding power, press resume twice and then release power.
This puts the printer in service mode.
Now all the instructions say to press resume 4 times then power to confirm resetting some counter, then power off and on again. I did this a few times, and nothing really came of it. I then turned it back on and it still said ‘U163’.
I then selected a random document and told it to print. It said something along the lines of being out of ink. Now hold reset for about 5 seconds. You should get a message saying that the ink levels will no longer be monitored or something similar.
I know this is along the lines of what other people are saying, but it worked for me, whereas 1hr50mins of button pressing everyone else’s way did not. Give it a try, it might work for you!
It’s probably sheer luck, so good luck to you.

alrity .. tried the button mashing sequence = service mode .. closer examination with a flashlight revealed a #2 pencil erasure stuck to the far right of the white rollers (backside, if you are looking at printer from the front) .. this repair was back to back with a MP530 with a similar jam = a bit of broken jewelry .. the clue was the print carridge WOULD NOT center when printer was opened as if ready to change ink 😉 cheers

Did not work for MP470. I never use these stupid Canon printers once again in my life.
Whenever I try to print photos/ colour I am getting lines across the page. Can anyone help please?
Error code 6A00 for MP960.
Turn off power. Manually slide ink unit all the way to the left. Use a flashlight to look at the bottom right side where the ink unit usually hides. Use a pen or a small screwdriver to (prod a little in that area) that bottom. In my case by prodding around, something that apparently was stuck, became unstuck. I’m not technical at all. This is the best I can do describing the operation.
When you’re done, close cover and power up.
@Sorbonne, Thank you for the info
the info worked great for my MP470 canon printer . my ink tank now shows full on my generic ink. Thank You
Canon MP 220 require to hold triangle in circle for 5 seconds until LED goes off.
Hi,
none of that worked for MP140. However there is a way.
My printer showed E5 after a refill.
Soulution was to press black and red button simultaniously for 5 seconds.
Works great, Thank you! I was getting very frustrated but this took care of it.
Hi Guys,
with the Canon MP470
“# Wait until “Without Cleaning” is displayed and then presss the Stop/Reset button once.”
I did so, but no test page!
I can get a test page if press OK button….
So, it’s not working for me 🙁
Is there any other solution?
Many Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to change the destination settings of my Canon MP810 from Japan to US or what ever Philippines is using. I found some procedure to change to EURO which needs 4x press of the Stop/Reset button. Would like to know how many times do I need to press the Stop/Reset for US or Philippines?
1x press = ?
2x press = ?
3x press = ?
4x press = EURO
5x press = ?
?x press = go back to 1x press
Would appreciate anyone’s inputs on the ? above. Thanks!!!

How to reset MP220?

ive tried to follow the step for reseting my mp210 but have not had any success. The step listed is allittle confusing.
Reset Waste Ink Counter Canon Pixma MP210 and Canon Pixma MP220
1. Start with printer off
2. Press and hold resume Button (triangle in the circle) and click “Power” button. green led should be on
(does this refer to the stop/reset button) and when i click the power button do i hold it down or just turn on my printer
3. hold the Power button, release Resume Button. (now if i released the power button like in step two then do step three the power button will turn off my printer)
4. Without releasing the Power Button, double click “Resume” button and then release Both Buttons. (now here my printer is now off so i am to hit my stop/reset button and release both buttons do they have to be at the same time when released)
5. Click “Resume” for four times then click “Power” button, to confirm the selected action (reset counter absorber).
6. Turn off the printer and turn on again

Resetanleitung für Drucker Canon PIXMA MP 600
Hi!
HELP!! I have a Canon MP210 connected to a Mac OSX Version 10.5.8. When first connected the printer worked. Slowly over a year I began to have problems. The printer would “stall”, just refuse to print or spit out blank sheets. Next was no information: no job showed in print queue and often the printer would print page after page of a job I wanted to cancel. Tried: 1)resetting (using directions found online); 2)unplugging printer and reconnecting; and 3)restarting the computer. In desperation tonight I went to the Canon site and loaded a new driver (not even sure it’s the correct one, but couldn’t find the original disc). Now the print job is actually showing in the queue, but still–no printing. A few blank sheets sort of coughed their way out. I’m afraid I have no expertise in this area, don’t have the finances for repairs and have no one to help. Any assistance would be so appreciated!!
Reset Ink Level Canon MP470
This one works have used it about 20 times no problems at all
how do you reset the ink .levels for a canon mp272?
I have a Canon Pixma PM 520 and it is printing blank sheets.
Please help me.
Tried doing what you said for the MP220 with no success. Am going to another website to find the answer.
Not your fault, what a stupid thing Canon have done!
THANKS A BUNCH 🙂 i had the mp460, and i was STRESSING OUT! Then i found your post and yay! thanks 🙂
Who the hell invented this?
I’m trying on MP210, and it is hell not working…
but, yes, after a vew try it is working.
I try to collect the software printer resetter for my work in Printing shop…Great!!
I attempted to print a page, it came out blank. I tried another page and nothing happended. Checked my MP510 and it was off, as in no power. Won’t come on. Is it dead or can I reset. The button that says stop/reset will not work because there is no power in the unit. Can you advise me as to what to do.
If you have a blank page, is for a burn fuse in the circuit board; as close as the flex cable for the ink cartidge. Just solder an wire in the fuse mark “F1” o “F2”. Excuse my poor english.

Hey, worked great on my MP610 Canon ok !!!!!!!!!!
@Smurfmeister – that worked for my MP210i too. It didn’t want to scan anymore and was giving me the 6 error code and the color ink led was blinking. It seemed a bit stupid to me to have a multifunctional that stops scanning when it’s our of color ink.
(google trad)
hello, I have a problem : I erased my mp210 eeprom with mptool (mptool/erase). Is there someone who can give me the eeprom bin for mp210 (mptoll / read) ?
thank you
Thanks a lot for your tricks and website !!
I had my mp470 stuck and in less than five minutes it was repaired.
The bad thing is that I spend one more 10$ ink refill before checking with your website 🙁
Now I favorited it.
One suggestion for 2012: could the forum be organized with a wiki ? It would help take only the tricks and the forum would help people talk together.
You are awesome!! Thanks so much! So helpful and now I can print in just black if I need to!
Thanks! Worked great with MP220.
I have a Canon MP210 printer. We do very little printing, but I have to replace the color cartridge at least 2:1 to the black cartridge. We seldom have need to print out anything in color. How can I get the printer to automatically print everything in B/W unless I instruct it to print color?
If you can, please contact me directly at kglamers(at)yahoo.com. I am afraid that I’ll not keep track of your website and will fail to find your answer–or even forget to look for it! Yeah, it’s that bad!
I have a MP210. I have tried all your tricks to get it to recognise a refilled cartridge but none of them worked- sorry!! How I overcame it was to bite the bullet and buy new (reset) cartridges. The secret is, never remove them again!! You have to refill them in situ. The only problem is that the pink well is covered by the plastic frame.
Before you install them, drill a 1/16″ (1 1/2mm) holes in the ink well spots. Turn off the power, making sure that the cartridges are in their park position – far right. and then using a knife or saw ( I used a hot solder iron to melt the plastic ) cut a 1/4″ slot in the coloured cartridge’s install position right up to where the white “C” spot is. This will allow you to access the pink well with your refill needle. Keep an eye on the printing quality and refill before they get empty. Good luck.
MP220 is easy to sort after refilling your colour ect.
try printing a random page until the error ( cancel print shows up) then
just hold down the resume button for 5 seconds ( button with the triangle in the circle) until unknown ink volume appears.
DONE ! it should start working again.
Enjoy !
I have a MP530, it’s the second canon which i’ve owned since i worked with canon, love them. (also have a mx700) I have a problem with the mp530, when it’s turned on it flashes that alarm button and the copy button as well. it never has done anything else and won’t work at all, i’ve also replaced all 5 inks, the window displays “scanner error” and you’ve got no other response and after trying all i could find… i would really appreciate any and all help that you all could provide. i’ve recommended and sold canon printers and still will, this tho is very frustrating and i’ve been working on peripherals for about 20 years. thanks again for all your help.
Still helpfull in 2012. Thnx!!
I AM HAVING CANON PRINTER MP160, IT IS JUST LIKE ELEPHANT. IT WORKS LESS BUT EAT MORE & MORE.
NOW BOTH THE CARTRIDGE HAVE LOST IT CONTACT AND NOW THIS PRINTER IS USE LESS BECAUSE ITS ORIGINAL CARTRIDGE IS COSTING APPRX 2600/- RS. WITHOUT THESE CARTRIDGE I AM UNABLE TO USE OTHER FEATURE OF THIS PRINTER THAT ITS SCANER PART. IF ANY ONE CAN HELPME TO USE THIS PRINTER WITHOUT CARTRIDGE THEN PLEASE HELP ME OUT
my advice is to not buy another canon printer. And in future always buy genuine cartridges, as the reconditioned ones are a false economy. i’ve had it with my mp220. u051 code won’t go away, and it didn’t work on my windows 7 laptop anyway. A pile of cack, all in all.
what canon printer takes the same ink cartridges as the mp220
tried to reset printer after ink absorber cleaned dont work now have error code 5B00 WHAT NOW
