To reset the MP-160 and other similar printers if you receive an E5 Error, follow the procedures below. This procedure will work on many Canon printer models 1) With the printer powered off (Standby Power Button OFF) but connected to a power source, press and hold the Stop / Reset button and press the Power button. 2) When the Power LED is lit, press the Stop / Reset button two times while still holding the Power button. 3) Then release the Power button and the Stop / Reset button (regardless of order), the printer will move into a service mode (Waiting for you to choose a menu selection). 4) When the LED light is green, press the Stop / Reset button 3 times or according to the function you require, all selections are listed below. (Each time the Stop / Reset button is pressed, the LED lights up alternately in orange and green, starting with orange.) The printer will usually take a few minutes to reset itself, read any messages that appear on the screen and select whatever is required, if required. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The number of the Stop / Reset button presses. LED Function Remarks: 0 time Green Power off 1 time Orange Service pattern print 2 times Green EEPROM print 3 times Orange EEPROM reset 4 times Green Waste ink counter reset 5 times Orange Destination setting 6 times Green Print head deep cleaning 11 times Orange Button / LCD checking 12 or more times Returns to a menu selection ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some times, it may just be that your ink print counter limit has been reached and needs resetting. In which case, instead of pressing the Stop / Reset button 3 times as above, press it 4 times. For the following ink cartridges: PG-37 / PG-40 / PG-50 Black CL-38 / CL-41 / CL-51 Colour To get your printer to accept cartridges after refilling, sometimes you have to press and hold the STOP / RESET button. Insert the cartridge as normal and press the stop / reset button on your printer for approximately 10 seconds, then release and the printer should accept the cartridge. It can also sometimes be a RED CROSS or it can look like a Piece of Paper . If the printer doesn’t accept the cartridge at this point, switch off and unplug the power lead for 2 minutes, reconnect and then carry out the above. On some printers that only have two buttons, the button can be multifunctional, so the reset button can sometimes have other pictures alongside the button. All refilled cartridges show empty ink levels when reinserted, as the printer recognises the cartridge from a previous use by reading the serial number embedded in the cartridge circuit and matching it to any numbers stored in the printer memory. Ignore ink levels and continue to print until ink colours start to disappear.
