Canon Pro - 100 B200

[Vlad_Zaytsev]

I carefully looked through the entire forum, tried with the printer buttons, the error does not go away. I ask for professional advice here on how to get rid of it. 

I can ask professionals to share this, only for pinout of the QY6-0084 head contacts:

Knowing the sites, I will seal some of them with electrical tape, lose one color, but suddenly the printer starts working.

Hi Vlad_Zaytsev,

The B200 is a general hardware error and the printer would require service. You can try a hard reset by unplugging the printer while it is on and then press the power button 5 times. After that let the printer sit for 60 seconds then power it back on. If the error does not clear, the printer will need service. For service you can perform a web search with the key words "printer repair" and you zip code. That will pull up any electronic repair shops in your are that can service printers.

if the printer is still in it's 1 year warranty, please contact the Canon support team at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666), Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM EST. You will need to have a copy of the printers receipt.

I will try to make a general reset. But I need a design table to stick some colors on the printer, as an option, a workaround. I will be left without color, but I can print on it.

I bought a new head on aliexpress and I'm glad.

It worked for me

OK, strangely enough the "unplug and push power button 5 times" reset worked.  My Pro-100 was completely dead, with alternating power and alarm lights.  I don't know how in the world a general user would be expected to know this fix, but I'm happy I guess.  Sheesh!

I tried the hard reset - turn on, unplug, press start button 5 time, plug, restart.

The B200 went away and the printer is functional

Lucky, I guess
