#HOW TO SETUP CANON PIXMA IP2600 MANUAL MANUAL#

Potential buyers should be aware that you'll need a USB cord to connect the printer to a computer, but as is frustratingly common with printers, it's not included in the box. The power cord and the USB port are on the back. The power button also doubles as an alarm lamp that flashes orange when an error occurs. The control panel is very minimalist, with only power and paper feed buttons on top of the printer. Annoying, but certainly not a deal-breaker. The arm doesn't have a cap at the end, which was counterproductive, and a few of our test sheets flew off the tray as a result. The output tray folds down from the face of the printer with a slightly flimsy rectangular arm that extends to corral loose paper. The output and paper trays both fold into the unit when not in use, creating a tight box that could easily be mistaken for a stereo boom box. Smudges aside, the iP2600 doesn't take up a lot of desk space, and it blended in nicely with the rest of our dark peripherals. The shiny body retains fingerprints, a lot like the display on the iPhone. The sleek exterior is 5.6x17.4x10 inches and has a glossy black, slightly mirrored finish that looks sleek on your desk-that is, until the dust settles, literally. Now, the error showing up on LED screen is E05 and only color ink lamp is blinking repeatedly.Ī) Reset the printer by pressing Stop/Reset key combined with power key.ī) Switch off printer, remove plug and then start all over again.Ĭ) Removed both the cartridges, cleaned their golden plate pcbs (both on cartridge and inside printer) by plain tissue & rubbing alcohol.Ĭan you suggest any other work around, apart from service center?Īs the repair cost will be equivalent to cost of new printer, so no point in buying original Color cart or going to Service center.It's obvious that Canon put a lot of work into the design of the iP2600. The printer worked absolutely fine (photocopy, scanning, printing) though only Black and white for moderate home use, till 1st July’2020!!! Color cart – original, empty from a long time.

The printer has Black cart – compatible, DIY refilled. Thereafter, I never refilled the original cartridge, and left the empty cartridge in the printer. In total, 3 compatible cart has been bought over 7 years.Ģ) The color cartridge was refilled once after the original exhausted. This also worked for many years and is fine even now. Thereafter, I bought a compatible low cost cartridge from local market and used it again multiple times by DIY refilling. I have an inkjet 3in1 Canon Pixma MP287 (bought in 2013).ġ) After the original Black cartridge exhausted, I refilled it with the DIY kit for about 7-8 times more, till it died and stopped giving out ink.
