Canon is a pioneer amongst leading brands who offer an exceptionally fantastic range of printers. However, there is specific technical knowledge one should have when it comes to printers.  So, here is a handy guide on how to reset your canon printer.

Canon printers are incorporated with built-in indicators that are present to detect the ink level in Canon ink cartridges and preventing the printer from functioning when the ink level has reached a critical level. It has been noticed that in some cases, the Canon printer fails to reset even the cartridge has been changed correctly. This is usually the norm if the printer cartridge is refilled instead of the empty cartridge being replaced with a new cartridge. If your Canon printer fails to reset when a cartridge is installed, you can manually reset it.

Follow these simple steps to reset your printer. The printer can be reset in two ways. The first one is to do a reset straightly from the printer, and the other way is to reset through the computer.

 To reset from the printer follow the steps given below:

• While you are installing the black and colour cartridges for the first time, it is essential to understand that the lights of the cartridges can ignite or flash. And, if you try to print or coy at this moment, the printer might not work!

• The stop or the reset button must be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
• Once the button is released, one can hear the sound which indicates that the machine is resetting itself. At this moment the printer can print a blank page.
• Now, finally, you can copy or print. The lights of the black or the colour cartridges might continue to ignore or flash but that would not affect the functions of the printer. The user must overlook the ignition.

To reset via your computer follow the steps given below:

• During the period of the first installation of the black and the colour cartridges, when one tries to print from their computer, the following message might be displayed “cartridge not recognised.” This is the same message one gets when they install the cartridges of the origin OEM.
• Now select “ok.” The printer will proceed to print, and eventually, the following message shall appear- “impossible to print.”
• Select “Cancel printing“ for the moment.
• Maintain the stop or the reset button pressed during at least 5 seconds.
• Once the button is released, one can hear the sound which indicates that the machine is resetting itself. At this moment the machine can print a blank page.
• Now, finally, you can copy or print. The lights of the black or the colour cartridges might continue to ignore or flash but that would not affect the functions of the printer. The user must overlook the ignition.
