TR4522 Error code 5040, grinding sound at start up

nfarmer

I have tried unplugging and replugging in the printer to attempt to reset it. I don't know what happened to cause this error or the sound that it is making at start up. The ink cartridges are not moving freely. How can I fix this at home? Is there a way to reset or would programing it to adjust the heads help any? Please help.

Hi nfarmer,

The 5040 error can occur if something is blocking the print carriage from moving freely.  Please turn your TR4522 off and look inside of your printer for jammed paper or foreign objects.  Please attempt to manually move the print carriage.  If you are unable to, it would appear that your PIXMA TR4522 would require service.  If your PIXMA TR4522 was purchased less than a year ago, please contact one of Canon's Technical Support Representatives via phone or chat to obtain your in warranty options. To contact a Technical Support Representative, please use the link below to log into your My Canon account:
