- Canon Maxify MB5350
Hello, this is my thirst thread and I am excited if someone can help me.
I have got for zero money a Canon Maxify MB5350 - error 5206 as I wanted to use the double sided scanner function.
The person I got it from told me that it is most likely broken but I can try.
Now reading for the last two days multiple forums and watching videos I am at the end with my ideas.
But lets explain everyting in an order:
1) when I turn it on I get immideately the error 5206. Unfortunately there is no explaination what to do at this error than to contact the canon service center.
2) I unmounted the printing head and cleaned everything. It was very dirty and I thought that's it. No. When I turned it on again the same error.
3) Also cleaning the contacts with alcohol and cleaning the pipes of the printing head with alcohol did not show any positive effect.
4) I noticed that once the printer is turned on and shows the error code 5206 the orange led blinks 8 times which would indicate that the waste inc tank is full.
I am now not sure if I do have two errors or only one and how I could dismantle the printer that I can a) check the pads and b) replace if necessary. I could not find an replacement guideline for this device.
5) I also tried to work with the Canon Service tool but I do get the error 006. Again here I am not sure if this happens because of the two other errors or because something else is wrong.
I am very willing to learn an do more but I don't want to spend money on a new printing head which costs close to 100,- € and new ink if I get a new one (smaller version - nearly same output) for 160,- €.
6) due to the fact that I got it second hand there was no inc and I also wonder if this has an impact as well.
I would be very happy if someone could answer my questions as I have spent already two nights and half a day to get this thing working again.
Thank you very much.
