Just received this error code today, first time to see this. All I did was move my printer to dust undeneath and now the code shows. What is he issue and how to correct?

You could try replacing the cartages even if they are full of ink.  I found new cartages fixed my problem even though the existing cartages were less than 15% used.  Of course it is a complete rip off but that how Canon have set up the devices to trigger such errors and make you buy new supplies.  I had an expensive Canon iX680 A3 printer which was used probably less than 25 times in the 3 years before it without warning trew up an error B200 and there was nothing I could do except return to the service centre and pay for the replacement of the entire print head that would cost more than the printer was worth so I had to dispose of it in ewaste. I wasted a lot of time trying to fix it forst and I was ledt with replacement ink unused in the fridge.

 I had a BJC 6000 15 years ago which was also an expensive supposedly high end ink jet and it too was a world of pain, in fact never worked properly from new.

Fool me to ever buy a Canon printer but will not be fooled again

 

Good luck with it.
