CANON PRINTER GREEN & ORANGE LIGHTS ALTERNATE

If you have a problem with your canon – the green lights then orange lights for 2-8 times then green light again then pause.

          1.)    Count how many times Orange lights after green light pause (If green light pause, watch out for it – Orange light will flash and this one you should count)

          2.)    Two Orange lights means out of paper or feed error (you just have to put some paper or make your printer fee well then press the orange button)

          3.)    Three Orange lights means paper jam (Open your printer cover and check if some paper are stock inside, pull it out-put some paper again then press the orange button)

          4.)    Four Orange lights means empty ink tank – Press Orange button to resume printing (Replace ink tank – if not, your printer will be malfunction)

          5.)    Six Orange lights means error on your print head (I try to research on it- install it, other says you can clean it through water – one day I’ll try if this error comes up – but I don’t recommend you to do this)

          6.)    Seven Orange lights means your print head is defective (we used to have this problem – I solved it twice but the printer just print some then stops printing – because it says that the waste ink tank was full)

Note: THIS PROCESS IS FOR CANON PIXMA IP900 CISS ONLY (I don't am not liable for your printer - I don't even test this yet to other printer)

a.)    First I held the ink refill higher than the printer

b.)    Press the Orange button to let the cartridge move (So that the ink will filled inside each cartridge)

c.)     Check your printer status if you can deep clean it

d.)    When you deep clean it slowly put down the ink refill

e.)    Print a Test Page or print the one that checks if your printer color works fine

            7.)    Eight Orange lights means waste ink tank are almost full (Contact the person who has knowledge to replace it)

I hope this once help you

Steps 6a-6e was my experience with our Canon printer CISS (If your printer was not a CISS version-please don’t use it – it might harm your printer)
