Canon i860

[jofus54]

We have run over 10,000 color copies through this workhorse. Waste ink tank is full. Needing new pads. Where do I find them, and where do I get a manual for this printer?

Check this link out, you will have to do a search for the topic you need. I remember there was a place in San Francisco that would send you the pads and help you out with the reset codes.

Here is a quote from one of the posts.

"Call ABC Electronics, a Canon dealer in San Francisco (415 550 3100), and speak to John, a real nice guy and very cooperative. Not only will he give you the code sequence to reset the "tank full" state, he will sell you a replacement pad for the machine (this is the "waste ink tank"). The cost (3/29/05) is about $5 plus shipping. Although the pad can be removed and cleaned (sort of), the ink is comprised of very fine particles and consequently it is impossible to completely clean the pad, and very wasteful of water to boot."

"The Canon service manual can be purchased from "2manuals.com" as a PDF for $6.99. It gives you all the service notes and warnings, however, no disassembly procedures. A good book to have."

Here is a link to the i850 service manual, it's an older printer but most of the information should help.

jofus54, please read the following thread. It would be GREAT if you could print the eeprom info before and after you do a reset:
