Canon Error 5B00 Reset (SOLVED) Ink Waste Counter | Support Code 5B00 5800 Pixma G4200 7 Blinks

[@gotgreatboys]

A Thousand Times...THANK YOU for this video!!! My relatively new printer (have not even gone through my initial supply of ink!) started not printing in black and I couldn't figure out why. I performed all of the "cartridge cleaning" steps and whatever else was suggested in the printer app. Then, went online after finally figuring out the error code and researched a couple of different videos on repairing the issue. SOOOOOO frustrated that this video wasn't one of the first 4 or 5 that popped up on my screen. After trying to put the printer in service mode multiple times according to the other sources instructions and getting nowhere, I finally gave up in frustration. The printer has been sitting on my desk for a few months now and I finally got so desperate that I was planning to go out THIS afternoon to purchase a new one after doing a little research. Decided to try to fix our printer one last time and looked up the error code again. This time, the same few videos I had watched the first time popped up, but because I could tell that I had already viewed them previously, I went to the next one. THIS ONE!!! Worked the first time. I can not believe how easy it was and how much time I wasted on the previous ones. So very frustrating. THANK YOU for your very thorough explanation and description of what to expect. I'm bookmarking this one!

[@anthonygardham4573]

I used your reset advice on my Canon G3501. It worked absolutely fine and we are now back printing. This saved me a "quoted" repair fee of £200.00 here in the UK...Thank you so much.

[@viniciusstellium8012]

Thank you so much for this video. The only one that actually gave correct info on how to put the printer in service mode and press the buttons the correct amount of times. Here in Brazil there are so many people making 15 minutes videos giving a lot of wrong info, it sucks. Even printer store attendants gave us a lot of BS! Thnks again, mate

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome, I am happy to help =)

[@mollyknop7344]

@@thecollegepicker I logged in to say the same thing except I'm in the U.S. and the other videos are just as bad as the commenter said were in Brazil. This video is the only one that gave the right directions. I was about to toss my printer out the window before I saw this. It's almost back to normal! Thank you!!

[@walterreed6092]

I called Cannon Support after paying $20 fee. They were no help, said my 5B00 error code was not fixable. The only thing they offered me was a 10% discount on certain models of new Cannon printer for me to purchase! Thank you SO MUCH, your instructions worked on my 1st try. If someone like me, a 76 year old can follow your instructions, anyone can!

[@ezralimm]

You legend. Also note, you dont need to ink flush. I do it manually with syringes to refill the cap. A standard syringe will fit the holes and you can manually suck in the ink into the tubes. Just remember that when the caps are OPEN, the ink flow is stopped (to prevent it from leaking backing into the thank while refilling).

[@thecollegepicker]

Yes you can do it that way but most people don't have the syringe handy and a built in function may be easier for them. But the syringe method would make a good video 😊

[@eojlin]

How do you that? Do you have a video please?

[@irisborders5293]

I have a G4210 and this worked perfectly except I had to press power (hold it down) and then press reset 5 times. My colors were not printing well so I did maintenance to deep clean, nozzle check, etc. Then came 5B00. Drove me nuts until I found your video. Thank you!

[@katiebender775]

This worked for me THANK YOU!

[@susandickerson847]

Thank you. I have a G4210 also and this worked. so thank you! Did you change the ink pad sponges that collect the flushed ink? I did and hope they work.

[@pallasmith3918]

I have a G4510 and this worked for me, although to put the model into service mode I had to press the reset/power buttons slightly differently. Instead of holding down reset, you don't to begin with! You press power (hold it down) and then press reset 5 times. That did the job.

[@bill7853]

You are 100% right .. I had no luck with the above procedure until I found your helpful comment. Thank you so much for making the effort to do so . The procedure removed the 5B00 error but print was blank . I will next pull the pads out and clean/ dry. Mine was also the G4510.

[@tshegofatsosekome]

Thank you so much for posting this. I have the G4411 and it definitely does not go into Service Mode according to the video but as per your instructions I was able to stop banging my head against the wall! You legend you!

[@jlbradley1844]

THIS ONE ACTUALLY WORKED. This is like the 5th video I looked at. I was ready to give up, thanks for giving ACCURATE information.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. If you could please thumb it up so it will get higher in rank and help more people 👍 appreciate you!

[@AllenReinecke]

Worked on my Canon G3200 with the 5b00 error, though my D = 063.6, not 100.0, on the service print before a reset. I was trying to get some colors back and after several cleanings and deep cleanings that was when I got the error code. After resetting the D, and deep cleaning again, I still had no magenta color! After a system cleaning, all is now working again but I used almost half a tank of each color and now D = 020.0 already!! Removed, washed and dehydrator-dried (couple hours at 115F) the ink absorber pads. Put them back in, reset the D to 000.0 and all is back to square one, except now I need to buy more ink! Your videos saved my printer - AWESOME !

[@7thgradepsr]

Thankfully yours was the first video that the Google algorithm chose. Very well done. So congrats! Worked great on my Pixma G2200. As another viewer commented.... the % waste ink read D=063.6 when I received the 5B00 error. Now reads 0 and is workinig fine again. Like yours, I love this "no cartridge" printer and want to nurse it along another 6 years.

[@PeterBarnett-ht5ei]

This was about the 3rd video I tried and the only one that worked! My G3501 now works again and I don't have to buy a new printer. Thank you very much.

[@philipdewey7475]

Worked 1st time & only video showing how to fix the exact problem I was having with my Canon G1200. Numerous others showed how to remove, clean & replace saturated ink pads but none addressed how to reset the ink pad stats thus my printer was still a brick. This was the only video that gave instructions how to reset saturation % to "0" thus allowing the printer to return to normal service. Canon's solution was to purchase a new G1220 for $200. Thx!!!

[@thecollegepicker]

Wow, canons solutions sucks. Happy to help

[@OlivierBerdoyes]

You rock, man, great job, clear video and directions. Bought replacement waste ink pads off the web, replaced the saturated ones (super easy) and was struggling to reset the printer until I found your video. All good now, back in business for a few more years, suck it Canon! Thxs again.

[@scottputnam2323]

Wow! Thank you so much. I have a Cannon Pixma G3200, went printer shopping today, then decided to check out KZbin for a fix and luckily found your video. You saved me some big cheddar, thank you! 👊

[@athaliecrouch3189]

A very heartfelt thank you!! In the wee hours of the morning, the printer wouldn't print with proper colour so I topped up all the tanks and cleaned the heads .... but after that - just a symphony of error lights flashing at me, and no print - Grrr!!! Checked the usual - no apparent problem yet still no print. Your video was so very useful, and even though my D = 063.6, I was finally able to get the printer out of service mode and use it again normally. Again, Thank you very much from Brisbane Ausralia, the video was an enormous help to me! 😁💐

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome

[@bmart17]

I literally started my car and was letting it warm up when i decided to try one last video to get my pixma G1200 to stop giving me this error. You fixed it and probabaly saved me a few bills. Thanks so much!

This is the most simplest video to solve this issue by far. Thank you.

[@thecollegepicker]

[@C141421356]

Worked on my G4210, but to get into service mode it was holding the "Color" button + Power...only to enter service mode. After that, everything was as per your vid. Thank you!

[@traceystephens7813]

PIxma G3200 was "printing" blank sheets. Followed your protocol and it was still printing blanks. Did a "deep clean" and now is printing normally. Thank you!

[@user-xw8zk4uz2o]

Excellent video, following your instructions and steps were easy to understand. I was easily able to reset my Canon G3200 printer 5B00 error code. Before watching your video, I spend hours looking for answers my printers 5B00 error code. Unlike other videos you not only explained what to do, but also why we need to follow your instructions. Thank You !!!

[@jimfacteau4553]

by far the simpliest, best description and fix for the 5B00 error code

[@richc.3901]

I have a Canon Pixma G3202 printer and this process worked! Thank You!!!!! I do want to note I had to have the printer print aout a new report the 1st time I did not do that and it went back into error mode, so I had to go back thru and after the printer printed d 0000 I had to then print a report! The 1st time I did not do this and the printer still thought the over flow was full. Make sure you print another report after the printer prints the d 0000 level page.

[@stevenraphael5133]

WOW what a wonderful breakthrough. It worked on a PIXIMA 922 (my 5th such printer) The error code was B200 which was equivalent to last rights. Anyway, your power up then 5 stop presses cleared it up. It ran a very lengthy cleaning then printed flawlessly. Thanks again!

[@RONNIEPERRYII]

Watched one video and the dude said the printer couldn't be fixed. Glad I found you!

[@thecollegepicker]

Good work 🤝

[@panificadorajugarsu8386]

I had the same error 5B00 on my Canon 4100. I followed the steps and problem solved. It actually even resolved a problem I had that it wouldn't print the colors correctly. Thanks!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome.

[@kharingilbert2074]

Worked exactly as you instructed. Very clear instructions. I have the G3100. Thanks!

[@DeathPutt2000]

Thanks for this! I gave up searching for a solution to error 5B00 almost a year ago. I thought I'd see if there was anything new about this on here. I'm glad I did! This worked perfectly on my G1200. The only exception was that D=063.8 not 100+. It doesn't matter though. It still worked. Thanks again!

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 😃

[@peterdouwes4392]

Yep!. G4600 that had been turned off for about 3 years. To perform a full service I had done three additional things. 1. Unplugged yellow ink container and emptied yellow ink container that had had magenta ink erroneously inserted by completely by inverting my G4600 printer over the lawn, reinverting and filling with water/Simple Green mixture, after letting stand for 10 minutes, reinverting again to empty out water mixture over the lawn again, then and inserting yellow ink ok to quarter height and resealing cap 2. Opening rear door using star screwdriver (x2 screws only) then removing all four completely sodden sponges, cleaning with water/Simple Green mixture in a sonic cleaner for two 20 minute sessions, drying out all four on clothes line over two days, then reinserting all four fitted sponges ok (they only go in one way as a simple jigsaw puzzle) and then reassembling by rescrewing rear panel back on. 3 Removing print heads and sonic cleaning them as well for two 20 minute sessions. Note the sponges have a natural dark grey colour once all the black ink was removed to indicate they are clear again. So after reassembly, followed these instructions by the collegepicker ok to remove the error code.

[@lisateague-robe149]

BRILLIANT! Worked well for Canon G4600 Pixma. Many thanks . My printer is now printing better than it has in ages, Crystal clear text and bright colours.

[@goodheadnigel]

Thankyou so much. My Cannon G3501 pack up withthe 5b00 error. Just the ink pads and they were full of ink. Still whenever I turned it on kept flashing 7 times green & amber. So glad I found your video. Going to get a waste tank to try and bypass the ink pads and go straight in the bottle. Thankyou

[@JMalkovics]

Thanks Mate! It worked for my printer: Canon PIXMA G4100. Now I have to figure out why the color inks aren´t working. I´ve changed all the ink heads (color and black) but only red is functioning. Will check out the rest of your videos to see if there is any solutions.

Thank you! This error code is diabolical. It did take me a while to get to the safe mode at first - I kept alternating between powering the printer on, hitting the stop button and hitting the start button again. Whatever I tried ended up turning the printer off. However, I let it sit for a little while - enough time for it to contemplate its bad behavior - and for some reason I was able to get the printer in safe mode and past the first step.

This is going to sound weird but I had the same problems you dealt with. The black all of sudden wouldn't work. Now I figured there was a pressure issue with pump. So I sucked out out air from the tube on the back. I believe it equalized the pressure and I was right. Black worked fine after I did this.
