How to Resolve 6A00 Error Message on Canon Printer
The 6A00 error message is not too common on canon printers, and we’ve done all we could in order to publish this solution for you. We’ve seen many people around the Internet looking to solve this error message, so here’s all the information you need to get it done.
Possible causes of this issue:
This error tends to appear on printers where the ink cartridge carriage is blocked by something, or when they haven’t been used for a long time. Leaving your printer unattended for an extended period of time will make all the greases and oils in it dry out, getting in the way of the normal ink flow in it.
Our solution for the 6A00 error code on canon pixma printers:
Step #1:
Turn your printer off and disconnect the power cable in it.
This will keep the printer from becoming blocked, so please do this before following the other steps of this tutorial.
Step #2:
Please check if the barrel the carriage glides on feels greasy. If it doesn’t, use 3-in-1 oil on it to make it this way.
Step #3:
You can now move the entire print head, which is where the ink cartridges are located, softly from the left side to the right one, always reaching the ends of the barrel. Repeat this three times in a row and keep an eye out for any paper resides or foreign objects in your printer that may be blocking the carriage.
Step #4:
Finally, check the sponges the ink cartridges rest on, just in case there’s something on them. If there is, please remove the object and leave them clean, if you take them out of the printer to clean them, please put them back in before turning the printer on.
