If you have a Canon printer with a Continous Ink System (CIS), you may encounter error codes P02, E02, and E03. These errors occur when the printer is unable to properly detect or communicate with the ink cartridges due to issues with the printer cable or door trigger.
Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to troubleshoot these errors and get your printer back up and running. Here's how:
P02 Error
The P02 error occurs when the printer cable is too short to reach the left side of the printer, where the ink tank is located. To resolve this error, you need to move the cable to the right, making it shorter on the left. This will allow the printer to properly detect the ink tank and eliminate the P02 error.
To do this, you need to take the cartridge out and measure 24 centimeters from the base of the clip. Mark this point with tape or a marker, ensuring that it is at the center of the printer. If the tube is too short, move it to the center of the printer to eliminate the P02 error.
P03 Error
The P03 error also occurs when the printer cable is too short, but this time it is unable to reach the right side of the printer where the ink tank is located. If you encounter this error, you can move the tank to the front a little bit to give it more tube to work with. This should eliminate the P03 error.
E02 and E03 Errors
If you encounter the E02 or E03 error, this is because the printer cable is too tight and the printer door cannot be properly closed. Look at the door on the left side of the printer, where there is a door trigger. If the trigger cannot be fully inserted, the door is not properly closed and the E02 or E03 error will occur.
To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the printer cable is long enough to allow the door trigger to be fully inserted. If you still encounter the error after adjusting the cable, you may need to replace the cable or seek professional assistance.
In conclusion, by following these simple steps, you can troubleshoot Canon printer error codes P02, E02, and E03 when using a Continous Ink System. Always make sure that the printer cable is properly adjusted and the door trigger is fully inserted to ensure proper printing. If you continue to encounter errors, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance to avoid causing further damage to your printer. Happy printing!
