Canon i865 with Duplex unit and optional paper tray.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FIRST PROBLEM:
===========
Was working fine, good printouts, etc. Changed Black 3e cartridge and printed some more, then...
The Printer Status dialog reported:
service error 5100
Indicator light status:
Green light solid - flashing orange in groups of 2
Reset it many times but could not get past that. Left it OFF overnight then tried again - new situation!
NEW PROBLEM:
==========
Previous error report has disappeared, to be replaced by:
The Printer Status dialog reports:
The appropriate print head is not installed
Indicator light status:
Stays solid Green
ACTION TAKEN:
=============
I removed the print head and soaked in hot water, renewing water regularly for a couple of days. Placed back in printer, but still reports no print head.
Many thanks for any tips.
- Bill.
PS. Does anyone know where there is a complete set of error number and light code meanings for this printer?
