I have a printer Canon MP287 installed with the continuous ink flow system and just last time I had these errors going on the screen of my printer.... and I couldn't get it why I couldn't print well... or if I could print, I can only print once... then the printer goes berserk... eating up papers etc. and / or sometimes jamming then these error codes come out...
I have searched these and found these infos
E, 0, 2 or E02 or 02E or 2E0 = The machine is out of paper / paper does not feed.
E, 0, 3 or E03 or 03E or 3E0 = Paper Output Tray is closed / paper jam.
E, 0, 4 or E04 or 04E or 4E0 = The Cartridge cannot be recognised.
one way by which I addressed this problem was that I tried all the steps I've been able to google... even tried resetting like following these steps:
- Turn OFF first the printer, make sure it's dead.
- Press and Hold the “Reset button” and the "Color Start" on the printer.
- Then Turn ON the printer.
- Wait for 5-10 seconds.
- Release the “Color Start” and "Reset" buttons.
But doing these didn't really help me much... so just opened or lifted again the top cover...
and figured, since the error is being given as E03 and E04 mostly maybe there's something that really is blocking the way of the papers..... but I checked, nothing... and just wondered on my tube... what if I extended a little the tube inside since I noticed the tube from the ink to the cartridge seem to be too tight, so I unloosed in a little...
ALAS! my printer can now print better.... or the error codes were gone....
so just want to share this... if incase you have an inkflow system installed in your printer...
It really worked! Thanks for saving my day.
