Hi ahmedosman,
The 5100 error can be caused by a paper jam. There are 3 videos that Canon has created that you may watch which cover this issue. Please use the following links:
Clear from paper feed unit:

Clear from inside printer:

Clear paper output slot

This error can also be caused when the encoder/timing strip requires cleaning. To perform this, please follow the steps on this page:

If the 5100 error persists, your PIXMA MX492 would require service.

G4210. Printer has worked great for over a year but now I get a 5100 message every time I print. Start and Stop lights flash intermittently. If I power the printer off and turn on three blank sheets come out. I put them back in the tray and the printer works fine but then after the last page is done the 5100 message comes up and the lights, etc. Big pain; what to do?
