Canon Printer Error Codes and Ways to Fix them?

First, you need to know what error codes are. In a programming language, an error code is a numeric or alphanumeric code displayed on the screen. The type of error determines the error code displayed on the screen, typically consisting of 3 to four digits, followed by a brief message describing the error. After an error code has been displayed on the screen, various errors can be found and eliminated during the testing phase of software and hardware. You or a technician can troubleshoot the problem and resolve the issue by using the code. Visit at- canon printer setup

How to Fix it?

• Switch off the Canon printer and open its hatch.
• Then, proceed to remove the protective substances from the device.
• Now, the first thing you need to do is check if the cartridges have been positioned correctly or not. If not, take all the cartridges out of the printer and put them back in, ensuring they all have been appropriately placed. Lastly, it would help if you also kept in mind whether the cartridges are compatible with your canon printer.
• After executing all the processes mentioned above, restart the Canon printer.
• If the error code is still being displayed on your computer screen, then the chances are that the cartridge may be damaged. In that case, you have no option but to replace the faulty cartridge with a new one.

Types of Paper Jam Issue (Error Code E03)

These Error Codes are displayed on the screen when the paper is stuck or jammed in the printer. This situation can be pretty frustrating. Because this situation usually occurs when you are in the middle of the process. The condition is caused when there is an obstruction somewhere in the device; the problem can occur due to the type of paper fed into the printer or the angle at which the paper was fed into the printer. 

The paper can be stuck on any side of the printer, either on the input side, the output side, or the middle side. To find out the actual problem, you need to open the cover of the printer; for that, you may require some tools.

How to Fix It (E03 Error Code- Support Code- 1300)?

Follow the process to remove the jammed paper from the printer.

1. Switch off and unplug your printer.
2. If your printer has a paper tray at the front, you need to open the paper tray. Then you need to remove all of the paper inside the printer. Only the jammed sheet is left.
3. Use your hands to carefully pull out the jammed sheet, but don’t be too hasty, and don’t use too much force. If the paper remains stuck, you need to try the next step.
4. You need to check for a hatch at the back of your printer. Try to remove the sheet as carefully as possible so you won’t tear that jammed sheet.
5. Suppose your hatch is placed at the front of the printer rather than at the back. If you have difficulty reaching the jammed sheet, you can quickly get the space required to achieve the jammed sheet by temporarily removing the cartridges or toner cartridges from your printer. Then you need to pull out the jammed sheet from the hatch carefully. But you should only do this if everything else has failed.
6. Lastly, you need to reconnect your printer and switch it on to check whether it’s working correctly. 

Note: Removing the paper via your printer’s output should be your last resort, as this can damage your printer. You need to follow the steps first before resorting to the last option.
