  9. I was printing when all of a sudden the Error message came up:

    “Printer error. Turn off printer and then turn on. Refer to manual if this doesn’t fix the problem.” The yellow flasher on the right hand side of the machine was flashing.

    What do I do now. I have unplug the power source and let it sit for an hour. I have turn the printer off and then on many times. Problem not resolved.

      This seems to be a deep paper jam. use a torch to get a better view of the inside of the printer and remove any blockage. if you are unable to find a blockage please contact a cannon service center.
