Canon: Fix error message B200
This error appears when there are problems with the ink cartridges.
- This error is displayed if you are using non-Canon ink cartridges (third-party cartridges).
- So that you can still use these cartridges, they must be cleaned thoroughly under lukewarm water.
- Then put the cartridges back into the printer and switch them on with the flap open.
- This now carries out a self-test, so you get to the menu. Once you have opened the menu, you can assign print jobs to the Canon printer from your PC.
- Tip: To avoid this error, you should either use genuine Canon ink or print in color and black and white weekly.
You should also clean your Canon print head. We will show you this in the next practical tip.
