MX922 screeching after changing ink.

Benhermies — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 20:48:52 GMT

My printer was out of 3 ink cartridges so I changed them all. I thought I put them in correctly but now it's making a horrible screeching noise. It says to cancel the print job, turn off the printer and clear any jams, but I can't find any jams. I cant even get to the ink carrier.

Each time I turn it off and on it does the same thing.

What can I do?

Hi Benhermies,

What error code appears at the top of the display on your PIXMA MX922 when this occurs?

It says "Support Code 6000"

Hi Benhermies,

The 6000 code is a general hardware failure error. Please open the printer and try to take the ink out and then put them back in making sure they click into place. If the ink carriage is over to the left or right side, please unplug the power cord to the printer and then gently try to move the ink carriage over to the middle.

If the error does not clear or the ink carriage wont move, the printer would require service. If the printer is still in it's 1 year warranty and you have a copy of the proof of purchase, you can call us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666), Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM EST.
