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.

To try and resolve the 5200 error, please unplug the power cord from the back of the unit and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on.  If the error persists, the unit may require servicing to resolve the issue.  Please click on the Contact Us link below to obtain further assistance and servicing options if needed.

I just experienced the 5200 error and I did your "fix" and it solved the problem - Was about to buy a new printer,

now thanks to your post - well enough said.

How, how, how did you figure this out? It worked!!! After using my daughter's printer with a very short cord that we never use for a month, ii finally came across your post. I almost did not do it, but am so tired of moving my computer so close that it reached the printer cord I tried one more thing-yours. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Because of you, my wireless Canon printer works on all three of our computers…again!!! I would kiss you on the cheek if I could! You will be my go-to poster when I have another issue.
