This method also works for the canon 5800 error but do check out why the canon printer goes offline and how to get it back online.

How to Check the Ink Level

First of all, you need to have a look at the ink levels of the printer and if the ink level is lower than 50%, this process will not work. If in case, the ink level is “low”, replace the ink cartridges and then you are good to go.

How to Reset Canon Printer

Plug out the Power cable from the printer to switch it off completely and then plug the power cable back in and switch on the power button on the printer.

Let the printer start itself and after the printer is “ON”, the green-colored LED will stop blinking. Now, press and hold the “Stop” button until the orange “LED” blinks 5 times, and then release the button.

Use canon service tools program

In case if you are still facing the issue, you need to perform the printer reset to the factory settings. You need to run and install the “canon service tools program”.

and go to the “EEPROM tab” and click on EEPROM status before you initiate the reset process on your printer.

It will ask you about the paper source tray, by default it will be set to “rear tray”, leave it as it is and a notification saying “A function was finished” will appear on your computer screen.

Now, you need to do the printer reset. On the check ink counter, choose “Main” and then click on the settings button. Then, the printer reset process will start running and it will take a few seconds.

• While it’s running the printer LED light will keep flashing. When the LED lamp stops flashing, it means that the printer has been successfully reset.
• After the “Reset process’ is already completed, click on printer “EEPROM status” once again and the printing process of EEPROM status will take a few moments to complete and it will be completed when the Power lamp stops flashing.
• After that click on Pro and then choose the data to save option “EEPROM save”. Check it by using the program and you will see printer EEPROM will be already returned to 0%.

You can see before the reset process, the EEPROM status D = 100%, then after the reset process EEPROM status D turned to 000.0%. This way the reset process has been completed.

Turn the printer off and then turn it back on again. The printer is good to go now and you can start using the printer as you have always used it.
