PIXMA MG3620 Alarm light flashing

Bob_G — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 13:26:11 GMT

I recently bought a MG3620 and am just learning it. After installation difficulties it has been working fine for a few weeks but this morning I got an error. The alarm light was flashing and I went to the online manual. Under the topic 'when an error occurs', it basically says that I should have gotten a support code on my computer screen but there wasn't one. I am wondering if I have all of the needed software installed.

I am using Win 11 and am connected to the printer via my LAN. On the Windows > Start > All Apps menu I see Canon Utilities and Canon Inkjet Utilities but I don't find anywhere in those apps where there is an error code. What am I missing?

Thanks, B

Hi Bob_G,

I can assist you with resolving the error with your PIXMA MG3620, but would need a little more information.

How many times does the error light blink in between pauses?

Also, is the power light blinking as well?

Hi glites11,

Were you able to resolve this issue?

If not, you can determine the cause of the error by counting the blinks.
