Using a #Scanner on #Canon #Printer without #Ink or Cartridge.
www.instructables.com/id/Using...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: REMOVE ALL CARTRIDGE.
We need to remove all cartridge. Remove ink and cartridge.
How to remove ink and cartridge? Turn printer ON, lift upper body to access cartridge, remove cartridge by pulling it to the front (to you).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 2: ENTER 0 MODE.
Now we need to enter 0 mode. I call this 0 mode because its simply show "0" on the display.
How to enter 0 mode on Canon MP198 model?
-Turn printer OFF.
-Disconnect USB cable.
-Close front lid.
-Insert A PAPER into paper tray.
-Press and HOLD "stop/reset" button.
-Press and HOLD "ON" button.
-Release "stop/reset" button.
-Press and release "stop/reset" button 2x.
-Release "ON" button.
-Wait a moment, it will enter into 0 mode.
-AFTER show "0", turn OFF printer.
-PAPER will slightly coming/moving in.
Go to next step after PAPER slightly coming/moving in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 3: ENTER E3 MODE.
Then we enter E3 mode.
E3 mode will blink "E" and "3" continuously.
-TURN ON printer.
-PAPER will continue moving in.
-After half of paper inside, it will stop.
-Then it will display E3.
Continue next step after E3 mode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 4: ENTER 1 MODE.
We will then enter 1 mode, (because it will show "1" on its display). 1 mode means printer are ready to use (as scanner) even without ink or cartridge.
-Open front lid.
-PAPER will continue come in,
until eventually out from front lid.
-Close front lid again.
-Finish, wait and it will go to 1 mode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 5: START SCANNING.
Its done!, Connect USB cable from printer to your PC, and finally you can start using your Canon MP 198 as a scanner (again).

totally works on MP250. I have kept this printer for 10 years now in storage, got it out and badly needed the scanner. This is what revived this shi**y piece of tech.
I used to use an Epson ET-2550 kzread.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.
Thank you so much! i can now use my MP250 again after 7years being stocked in the shelves.Cheers from Manila,Philippines 👍
Hey ..this is what I was looking for to get rid of chronic Cartridge issue and I was struggling for E 15 error since over a week.Many thanks for a detailed video ..I tried and its working..Great help...Thanks again
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I thought I wasnt going to be able to scan my documents. Glad to see there was a workaround. Great video!

thanks for the video. i have a mp210 and this method didn't work completely because the paper didn't stop in the middle way. so i hold the paper when it is about in middle until the device stop pulling the paper. then i pull the paper from paper tray and pressed the copy button to rid of the e3 error. after that i was able to scan.

It works on canon pixma mp150, the only deference is that I need to stop the paper by hand when it try to go out, to put it mode 3. After that I go out the paper from down side of the printer and push the green button in the middle of tree buttons to go in 1.

@@Sevenmojoe if the Printer turned off.. the condition its back to normal.. cannot scan anymore.. why? should we do the process again step by step?
@Sevenmojoe
5 жыл бұрын
Because it will back to normal state, which is E5 code (no cartridges).
MP250 :: It worked! But only after I figured out that after you remove the ink cartridges you need to snap the locking bars back down into position. Before I did that I just got the flashing warning triangle light. The other slight difference with me was that the machine didn't try to feed the paper at all -- I put the paper in but after cycling the power the machine ignored the paper and just came straight back into 1 mode and was able to scan. Anyway, big thanks to the OP - my MP250 has been propping the door open for several years but now it has a more useful function!

...... or so I thought. I tried to do a second page and it was back to the old start with, I believe, the number 8 (as I can only see half the digit). And going through the process again, I came up with different results, none of which would end in a scan. Actually, before coming to you, I tried another method from the internet; I was able to scan once and then no more. It's as if my machine rebels against any changing of the code. Artificial intelligence years ahead in technology????

This trick should work until you turn printer off/power off. Then you need to perform all over procedure again. If its not working, maybe you can try to disconnect power for few minutes, and try procedure again. Glad if it works for you sir!

I'm not able to buy ink for this printer anymore, I was thinking in keep it just because it has an scanner. Your tutorial works to me to but I can't see me doing this every single time I need to scan something. Time to throw away this printer. They made this dependency on purpose, your solution prove it. I will never buy again another Cannon product.
Doesn't seem to work for the MP620 sadly. Keep getting the "Ink Cartridge not Recognized" problem.

Hello, I have tried this with my printer Canon Pixma MP210. Until the second step it works. But when I turn on the printer in the third step, then the printer does not enter the E3 but the E5 mode. After half of paper inside it also does not stop and it comes out from the lower side/bottom. Even though the front lid was not open. Do you have an idde why it does not work?
@Sevenmojoe
7 жыл бұрын
+Aisha Sadeeka best possible answer would be mp210 is not detect that front lid is closed. On mp198, after mode 0, it will enter E3. But from your report that it then enter E5 mode, i can assume that E210 cannot use this method. Because, E5 is normal condition when we turn ON mp198 WITHOUT cartridge. It could be mean that on mp210, after 0 mode, it reset to E5 mode.
