Hi,
You can try a reset of the printer.
While the printer is on, unplug the power cord from the printer.
Then, while the power is off, press the power button 5 times. After 60 seconds plug the power cord back in and power on the printer.
If the issue is not resolved your printer would require service and I would recommend reaching out to Canon support. You will need to register your Canon gear HERE to access additional support options.
We look forward to hearing from you.
