How to reset the ink cartridge Canon PG 37 black

If the black cartridge refills PG-37 where are you going to put on the printer you put a sign saying that the cartridge is empty or is not correct cartridge.

Esto no es por que no tenga tinta (ojo que tambien puede estar vacio) es que la impresora pixma no tienen un sensor para saber la cantidad de tinta que tiene, lo que hace es reconocer el cartucho que se te termino y avisarte que esta vacio al contar determinada cantidad de impresiones.

This is not because you do not have ink (note that also can be empty) is that the printer pixma not have a sensor to determine the amount of ink you have, what it does is recognize the cartridge that is over and warn you that this vacuum to have certain amount of impressions.

Para solucionar esto lo que hay que hacer es: To fix this you have to do is:

Cuando intentes imprimir y te sale el cartel de que no tiene tinta apreta durante 20 segundo el boton (depende el modelo de impresora cual boton, pude ser el de las hojas o uno que tiene dibujado un triangulo al reves) When you try to print and sign out the ink has not click the button for 20 seconds (depending on the printer model that button, I could be the leaves or one that has drawn a triangle upside down)

Cuando lo sueltes se borrara el nivel de tinta y podras imprimir tranquilamente. Be erased when you release the ink and you can print smoothly. Lo que de ahora en adelante no te va a decir nunca mas que cantidad de tinta tiene. What henceforth not going to say anymore that has ink. PERO PUEDES IMPRIMIR ! BUT YOU CAN PRINT!

Canon Copier ImageClass MF5550

Buying a Canon Copier ImageClass MF5550 has helped me achieve a higher level of efficiency at work. Before that we had a separate scanner, printer and fax machine. The Canon Copier Imageclass MF5550 laser multifunction machine allows me and my staff at the office to do all our printing, scanning, copying and faxes on one piece of equipment. The system is smaller than you think and does not cover too much space.

The machine comes with an automatic fifty sheet document feeder. There is a storage capacity of 250 sheets in the paper tray which suits me fairly well, and is generally sufficient for small businesses or enthusiastic home users. The manufacturer promises a printing and copying speed of nineteen pages per minute, however I think practically it is a little less than that. Personally, I think this is not very fast, but I prefer the machine due to many of its other advantages.

I get good quality prints at a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. The machine has a single cartridge system as it’s a monochrome machine, which keeps things simple, and cheap. This all in one machine is compatible with all the common operating systems and there are no problems that I have faced with the installation or drivers. The machine comes with a one year limited warranty so it does not hurt to give it a try.

The Canon Copier ImageClass MF5550 gives me a good resolution and image quality in scanning too. The scanner has an optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi and an interpolated resolution quality of 9600 x 9600 dpi. The OCR software that comes with the machine allows for editing the scanned text documents. The machine gives high quality scanning options and I am pretty satisfied with what I get.

The built-in fax machine has saved me the money and space required for separate equipment for faxing too. The modem speed is 33.6 kbps with a transmission reception memory of 99 pages. There are a number of different options available for photocopying as well and I am able to produce copies of all sizes on the Canon Copier.

For people who want to save money and get good quality with their documents at the same time, I recommend the Canon Copier ImageClass MF5550 as a useful machine.

Canon PC920

The Canon PC920 is the predecessor to the PC940. It is a personal desktop copier that measures 17.5 inches by 12 by 20 inches wide. At 42 pounds it is a hefty machine, which hopefully means the build quality reflects what we have come to expect from Canon over the past few years.

While not the most aesthetically pleasing device in the world, it’s difficult to fault the solid construction and no-nonsense design. It’s functional and intended to fit in with other office devices. The PC920 was released before Canon came up with their RAPID toner technology so it isn’t as quick to react as the PC940, but is still a competent performer nonetheless.

Even though the device is fairly small, it can cope with letter or legal sized paper with ease. There is a 250 sheet paper cassette that slots into the front and works effortlessly. Along with the single sheet use on the platen, brings the capacity up to 251 sheets. The glass and copier engine can also cope with books and other 3D objects, and will give a surprisingly good copy even though the lid might be open.

The PC940 had an instant warm-up facility, while the 920 doesn’t have that, warm up is only 10 seconds. A further 10 seconds will have the first completed copy ready for you. That’s pretty impressive for a copier, even a smaller desktop one.

Print quality is excellent. Every single copy came out perfectly when we tested. Our test document is 24 pages long and designed to put office equipment of all descriptions through its paces. The PC920 didn’t let us down. Each and every copy had the same contrast, brightness and toner density. Graphs, images and even photographs were rendered accurately and came out at a steady rate of 10 pages per minute.

For users who work from home, run a small business or simply do a bit of copying, the Canon PC920 is an excellent little machine. It’s low duty cycle, and small footprint means it’s ideal for its target market. With toner cartridges that last for 4000 sheets and cost less than $40, it doesn’t cost the earth to own. It performs well enough for most needs, even copying photos proficiently. The PC920 is a good little copier and well worth a look if you’re in the market for one.

Canon Error 5100 How to fix

There is really nothing quite as annoying as asking your expensive Canon MP printing device to print an important document and seeing an error code 5100 pop up instead of the neatly printed paperwork you need. Understanding the reason for the error code and what steps you should take to resolve the issue can have you back on track with your newly printed page-fast. 
Error message: the LED light blinks twice (2xs) and displays: "Error 5100 An error occurred in the carriage encoder signal".

Lets march down the troubleshooting path and look at probable solutions and how to reset Canon error code 5100. The first thing that you should do with a printer error of any type is try to reset the Canon MP printer. Occasionally an error code is a matter of a crossed signal between the Canon ink jet printer and the computer. Rebooting the Canon pixma printer might fix the problem with no more fuss.

1) Clear debris from carriage head
Open the Canon printer and look closely for any debris such as small pieces of paper or dirt lodged inside. If such debris is found, remove it, plug Canon pixma back in and see if error code has cleared. 

2) Lubricate the purge cap
If the Canon printer has excess dirt or dust you can use a damp lint free paper towel to gently clean the Canon printer. Once device is cleaned plug it back in and see if error code 5100 has cleared. If cleaning and clearing the device does not work then you may need to lubricate the purge cap.The purge cap is the sliding mechanism that the printer head parks into when it is not in use. To lubricate it you will need to remove the right panel from the devise. Once the panel is removed rub a little white grease along the sliders while taking care not to get any grease on the small wipers or the black caps. Once this is done, replace the panel, plug devise back in and see if the error code 5100 has cleared.

3) Paper Jammed
Odds are greatest a rogue piece of paper has nested itself in like a rat in a haystack. The solution is to remove all ink cartridges and hit it with canned air, or any other filtered air blower.

4) Set the ink cartridges properly
Less likely, and yet still possible is your ink cartridges need to be re-seated. If you follow the step above, after cleaning youll be re-seated the cartridges anyway.

5) Clean the Timing film
The timing film is a thin piece of plastic which runs across the width of the devise below the drive belt. It has fine vertical lines running along it and if it becomes dirty then your printer will display an error 5100 message. To clean use a damp lint free paper towel and gently wipe it off. Once strip has been cleaned, plug the devise back in and see if the error message has cleared.
Corrupt printer driver results in Canon Error Code 5100
If you have gone through all this and still you have no joy, chase down the latest, greatest print driver and reinstall. Printer driver corruption while low on the odds list, can be quite vexing.

How to reset Canon Error Code 5100

• Turn off the printer
• Unplug the printer power cable
• Press and hold the power button, and restore the power (a strip with a switch makes this simpler*). Depending on your firmware, you may have to also press and hold the resume button, simultaneously. You may get a one buzz sound.
• While continuing to press the power button press the resume button twice, in short bursts.
• Release the power button.
• Again, depending on the firmware, you may have to press the resume button three more times, and then the power button once. If you got a single buzz before, you should get one again, indicating you have exited programming the firmware. The printer will then switch off.

Plan B to reset Canon Error 5100
There is a plan B however, it is at your own risk. Some clever Russian engineers have coded up Canon printer Resetters that can be downloaded. The software can create test patterns, cleaning, EEPROM dumps. Clearing waste counters and much more. And in these days of malware, I think more than twice about downloading free software from sources I dont completely trust.
If all of the above steps do not clear your printer of the error 5100 error then it is possible the logic board assembly or carriage motor has gone bad. If this is the case then you will need to either send the unit in for repairs or replace the machine.

Canon Copier ImageClass MF4690

The Canon Copier ImageClass MF4690 is another multifunction device from the office equipment giant. It is a full duplex monochrome printer, copier, scanner and fax all in one little package and offers great value for money. It’s perfect for a small or home office and performed well in every test we threw at it.

The MF4690 has every that make it suitable for a small office or workgroup including networking. It prints, copies, scans, and faxes, and you can even scan to e-mail or to a file server if you like. The automatic document feeder enables you to scan or copy documents with multiple pages. It also has a built-in duplexer for double-sided printing.

Printing is the MF4690s real strength. It can produce good quality prints up to 21 pages per minute. The print quality is sharp, with text showing as crisp, with clean edges and good fill. Images are clear, with the shading evenly spread without bleeding. The test document includes all the main fonts in different sizes, and all appeared well defined and clear, even down to 3 point.

The paper drawer holds up to 250 sheet of paper and feels solid. There is also a 35 sheet automatic document feeder. The overall build quality seems robust, which is a good sign.

The scanner and fax are both pretty standard. There are options to fax from the desktop, scan to PC over USB, but not over the network which is a little disappointing. You can also scan to a USB key, which is a nice touch but not wholly useful. It would have been nicer to be able to scan over the network.

Setting up is simple, with the basic configuration done through drivers. The MF4690 can work either standalone or as part of a network, through the built in network port. A quick driver install later and you’ll be up and running in no time at all. There is a built in web page based configuration tool where you can add and modify system settings which is simple and straightforward.

Overall the MF4690 is a good device, but not perfect. It has a mix of great attributes like good quality printing and copying, a fully featured fax and scanner but misses out on features like scan over network and other neat features that other devices offer.

Canon ImageCLASS D880

This three-in-one printer, fax and copier is ideal for business use, especially small offices or workgroups. It has been especially built to offer high quality printing and copying with a good print speed.

As this Canon Image CLASS D880 contains a single cartridge system, it does not require any maintenance or particular machine skills to have it installed and working. Its set up is simple and one can begin with few easy steps. Only the cartridges need to be inserted before getting started.

This machine has the Canon advanced printing technology that makes it produce decent quality of work. It’s compatible with USB and also carries an Energy Star rating.

The sheet capacity is high which makes it perfect for office use. It offers 500 sheets in a cassette plus 100 sheets in a multipurpose tray. It has an automatic document feeder which can at the same time automatically deal with 30 pages. Its fax speed is up to 33.6 along with its super G3 modem. It also has a decently high speed with its copier and printer and thus it can copy up to 18 copies a minute and print at 16 pages per minute. The printer has a great output quality at a standard 2400 x 600 dpi.

Most of the fax features are especially designed to provide ease of use. In that respect a few main benefits include the 12 speed dials, 100 coded dials, memory back up of 255 pages and printing in the required order as well as others. We don’t fax much anymore, but when we do Canon make sure it’s as easy as can be.

The laser print engine offers black and white, as well as color prints. Its digital copier has the advanced feature to reduce and enlarge to 50%, 64%, 78%, 129% and 200%. This copier also zooms from 50% to 200% from 1% increments. Its copy features include toner saver mode and memory collate, for the ease of its users.

In standby mode, this machine is quite silent, however when in use it produces a slight noise which is not very audible. When it warms up, its noise increases for a while but is soon back to its quiet self.

Overall this unit is a great addition to any office or small business.
