Canon Pixma MX340 printer. How to clear Error 5200?

[PaulR]

I have a Canon Pixma MX340 multi-function printer. How do I clear Error 5200? The message said to turn the printer off and then on, and if that did not clear the error to consult the user's manual. On/off did not clear the error, and the online user's manual does not have Error 5200.

YES!  Those multi-step instructions on fixing the printer worked!  Thanks!  I'm am technologically challenged, yet I figured it out.

AWESOME!  Thank you cx2browns for the FIX.  I was about through with Canon and was getting ready to go out also and buy another printer.  You have saved me $$$$!  You just don't know how fustrated I was with this printer.  Not able to use it for a couple of months.  I appreciate you sharing with us the solution.  Again, thank you, thank you and thank you.  smoquay@aol.com

Hi. I have a Canon pixma mx479. I used it last year and I have been busy with my baby and I just got it back out hooked it up and I should tell you that I refilled my ink cartridges myself and last year there was a way for the printer to bypass the ink error. Well I cannot remember how I did it and I get error code 1485 or 1401 can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Try holding down the STOP/RESET button for 5 seconds.

Yes i have tried every post I could find on how to do it. Like I said last year I figured out how to do it I knew how to bypass it and this year I cannot find where I found that post at and I cannot print at all. Do you think if I hooked it up to the computer that it would give me an option to bypass it?

1: Switch off printer

2: Press and hold STOP button for 2-3 secs

3: Press and hold ON button, and release the STOP button

4: While still holding ON button, press teh STOP button 5 times.

5: Now release all buttons

6: LCD screen will turn on and will be blank.

7: Give it a minute and turn the printer off, and then back on.
