How to Service Error 5100 on Canon printer

Service Error 5100 is often experienced when the new printer is turned on, or when the printer is preparing to print. This is because the cartridge carriage can not move, or movement is obstructed by "something".

This method is used for all types of printers Canon IP1200, IP1300, IP1500, IP1600, IP1700, iP1800, IP1900, MP140, MP150, MP160, MP180
Try to open the hood of your printer. then try to turn it on. Usually when the carriage catrigde are in the right position (cartridge carriage parking lot), this error will appear. Turn off your printer and slide the carriage to the middle or the left. Notice at the end of the right, there is a component assy (ga know what it's called) just where the printer is ink nyedot or head cleaning. In the IP series is usually white, and black on the MP series.

Pay attention to the four aces this place is connected to the printer body, as this usually dry or grease / lubricant discharged. If you have any grease / lubricant, give this as a lubricant in the fourth. Do not use oil lubricants yes, try to use grease. Or if not averaged only remaining grease as such.

But sometimes this does not work, especially if as has been worn, consumed by the printer body. If you have this I usually play a cannibal, alias replacing the part of other printers (which already ga used) to fix it.

In addition to wear and dry lubricants, usually by her loose. and also sometimes there is a foreign object fun in and prop. Clean up this foreign body. Sometimes the use of cleaning or deep cleaning that is too often also can accelerate this damage. this is because the ink will be spilled and soaked as such. So try cleaning the ink with a tissue.

Good luck .......!!!!!
