alarm light and jam message remain on

My Canon Pixma MP280 Printer won't turn alarm light and E03 message off (E03 is a paper jam, but there is nothing jamming the feed). Scanning won't work either

So far, I have:

- turned printer off and on

- restarted computer and printer

- turned off printer, moved print heads to the left, turned on

- re-installed the printer software

- used this detailed suggestion from Jayeff on Jan 10:

1. Turn off the printer .

2. Press the Stop button for 2 second and hold it.

3. Press the On button, hold it and release the Stop button.

4. Press Stop button 5 times then release together, with the On button.

5. LCD display will blank and now resetting.

6. Computer will detect new hardware just ignore it.

7. Turn off the printer then turn it On.

8. Remove the cartridges and clean the heads after powering it back on

but after step 6, the orange error light kept blinking with no error code showing. So I proceeded to step 7, and it went back to the original orange light with E03 error message.

Any ideas? is a Canon Pixma MP280 just not fixable?

when I turn on my canon ip2770, orange flashes appeared 3x and repeatedly. If I try maintenance print , message will appear "Paper jammed" even there's no paper or foreign object. I brought the printer to a repair shop and it prints well. But when i connects it at home, still problem occurs. There's no similar problem to mine. How to solve this problem? Thanks!leah

Hi Kevin,

I decided to do a whole bunch of YouTube searches and found the answer (and no need for disassembly!)

1. Turn Off Your Printer.

2. Take a legal paper sized cardboard of 3 to 5 mm thickness.

3. Put it in the paper feeding tray and push it in

I couldn't do step 3 (push it through) because the cardboard just wouldn't go through. I was using a light weight cardboard, about the thickness of 4 pieces of regular printing paper. Anyhow, I started turning the printer off and on while trying to push the cardboard through. All of the sudden, the cardboard fed through and came out with a rubber bank on top of it. That's what was hidden and jamming the feed!

If you go to the YouTube site I found the three steps on:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_57Joga...

you'll find the comments are full of the various thickness of cardboard the commenters used and the funny things that rode out on the cardboard (hair band, quarter, plastic twist tie, etc.)

Enjoy!

Nailed it! The cardboard is the stuff! I don't know why I was getting the error message but it was driving me insane! I didn't even have to put the cardboard all the way through and it worked on my first try! Awesome! FYI: I have an MP 495

This worked for me and it was a rubber band also along with a small piece of wood!

Thanks it worked for me too. To add to the list of wierd things, i discovered it was a key.

It worked!!! Weirdly enough nothing came out with the cardbord. I suspect it was because the sensor got dirty because the printer has been sitting in the garage, unused for a couple of years.

Hi Kevin,

On the page you provided a link to, the English text appeared to be poorly translated from another language. I could not guess what the original text may have been.

Also, the instructions contained links to 2 YouTube videos, but they were narrated in Spanish, and I can speak and read only English.

The video seemed to be instructions on how to re-set sensor plate on the left side. But it did not include a section on how to remove the left cover of the printer.

Thank you for your attempt to explain. I'm sorry I could not understand it.

Sincerely,

Linda

Alright, a lot has been said about Printer Paper jam and lot of people Get to have this issue every once in while however i Never understood how the paper jam occurs to Printers So Often …Is it because they Get Old & Start malfunctioning. Anyways it has been reported Heavily that Printer has No Paper jam & There is error So There could be 2 Reasons Behind this -

Either you Don’t See Paper Jam Or There is Foreign Object In Paper Feed Line

i really Don’t See Scope for any software Issue In this Issue But Lets try some of the steps that may help you fix the Problem.

  • unplug the Printer From power Supply & wait for 3-4 Minutes

* Reboot the Printer & try to Print a Taste Page

  • Open the Printer Cover & Remove all the paper From Paper Tray.
  • Use a Compressed air Vacuum Cleaner to Clean out Dust Or Foreign Object Like Rubber band, small peces of Paper
  • Set the Cartridge Holder & Paper Tray Properly
  • Hard Reset the Printer

After reading all these comments and thinking I had removed the paper jam which started out as a small business card that went through without any problems. I was not able to see anything more that was causing the problem until I turned the printer upside down and low and behold another business card fell out of the paper loading slot. Problem fixed !!!!
