Thank you!! I followed this and cut that plastic piece out of the side and it took only seconds to free the print head. Canon has some work to do on their products. I have a Canon iX6800 with the same issue. The take got absolutely stuck in the corner with the same error. So frustrating. Thanks again!

WORKED FOR ME! Got the dreaded B200 Error. Powered off the printer. Unplugged from the back. Waited 30 seconds. Held Power button in while plugging power cord into back of printer. Held the Power button for 60 seconds. The white light was on the whole time but no mechanical movement or sounds. After 60 seconds, I took my finger off the Power button and the light went out. I waited 30 seconds, pressed the Power button once, and the printer came on, went through its usual startup routine, then all was well! No alternating white-orange lights. Printed perfectly!

Absolute giga Chad. I tried your "hold power button for 30 seconds" about 2 times, as well as removing the ink and printhead and reinstalling it and the Pro 100 came to life. You are the man!

It is a Canon scam, because their error message says that there is a hardware failure and to take, or send it to a Canon repair center, no mention of resetting the printer by yourself.

I've been having this issue for years and as stated in this Video it CAN be resolved ... it's been hard to pinpoint the exact proceed but I feel like I'm getting closer. Here's what I think is the possible cause... when the ink cartridge set too long, the dry ink continues to clog the print head... if you clean the printhead (see this how to video on RUclips: (ruclips.net/video/exc7eNzbDKI/видео.htmlsi=4tz3CK7L1Xh7xxbF) and continue to use the same cartridge the error 10 code could happen again. its best to replace the cartridge or clean the old one before resetting the printer. With that part out of the way, Unplug the printer until the next day.... the next day while holding power button... plug the print back in ( holding the button for about a minute) let go of the button and right away hold it again for about a minute again and then release. That worked for me twice already that's when I decided to clean everything before restarting the printer again. Good luck to all experiencing this pain staking encounter .

Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

Just wondering if I'm the only one who noticed the power plug area in the back of the machine doesn't feel very solid? I wonder if it's related. I also had issues with one of my refillable ink cartridges not connecting well before I God the B200. But I cleaned the connector prongs with q-tip and alcohol then put in a manufacture ink instead and it worked fine then next week (cause I print every week) it threw up that error again and now nothing I do will help. 😠 I did run it low till it started getting banding but I've done that a few times and never burned out the head nozzles or anything it's just frustrating

I have found a much easier way to get the print carriage to move when I got the b200 error, since I had the same experience with it locked in place. First, with the printer on, open the top bay door (the one that leads to the cartridges), and the front door that lets the paper come out when printing, AND that little one just in front of that. I really hope this is making sense, sorry I have no clue what these things are called). Then, unplug the printer with all these doors/flaps open. Plug it back in and then QUICKLY shut them all. Your printer will start to do its normal cycle before it "realizes" it has the b200 and starts blinking and being unresponsive. In that time, the carriage moves, so you can open that top door again after a moment and reach in and grab it and pull it to the middle. Unplug it again when its in the desired location so it can't move back, and there you go. Worked for me. I still have the b200 (thats how I stumbled upon this video), but at least I can make that part easier for you.

Cripes, what a chore. Thanks! As I watched, I started thinking "Time to visit Epson". And sure enough... By the way, "contact the service center" appears 32 times in the printer's manual.

It works! Saved my printer!

You are an absolute Chad. Thank you for this, doing it a few times worked for me! Revived pro-100 that had been off for about 5 years and now it prints again! Clarification, I held the power button down for 60 seconds, then unplugged it, waited for 30 seconds while holding power button, plugged it in and kept holding power button for 60 seconds, released the power button, waited 30 seconds, then pressed power to turn it back on. Did this cycle 4 times before it worked, then connected to ethernet and was off an running. Thanks!!

Thanks so much for posting this video. You saved me from having an expensive paper weight. I searched all over and couldn't find a solution. Plugged it in one time while holding the power button and it worked. If it does it again at least I will know what to do.

Hi all. After turning off the power to the printer for about 4-5 days and plugging it into the mains, it came back to life. but only worked for one day. I printed excellent photos, and again got error b200. I touched the print head and pulled it in different directions, and it came to life again for one day. I didn’t use the printer for several days, but today I needed to print photos, and it gave me an error again. but the trick with the twitching of the head no longer worked. I suspect that there is some problem in the electronic part of the print head. perhaps with some kind of capacitor, because when the printer sits for a long time it apparently discharges and everything starts working again. Maybe someone knows what kind of problem this is and what component is giving the error?

I use my printer all the time as a side hustle! I did the reset noted in this video. i did not wait the 24hrs, just a few min. Followed the rest of the steps here to turn it back on. It works fine. I hope this problem doesn't continue...but thanks, this worked!

Thanks for the video. Have you ever had to replace the print head carriage itself? Is it very difficult? Have you ever seen any video of the process anywhere? THanks

Hi! I was just curious how this printer has been holding up since you made this video? I've owned my PRO-100 since 2020 and it has always given me flawless, highly saturated 13x19 prints using genuine Canon cartridges for a few months and then switching to modified original carts (C/O Rick Johnson) and ink from PrecisionColors. A few weeks ago I got the B200 error for the first time and was luckily able to get it to clear by unplugging my printer and holding the power button down. I then printed a single 13x19 print (again, flawless as usual) and a shipping label a few days later. Then it got the error again. I went ahead and bought a new set of cleaned Canon ink cartridges from Rick, installed those and printed two more 13x19 prints (one yesterday and one tonight). I then tried to print a third and got the error again! Tried this fix that worked for you (holding the power button for a minute), my printer powered up normally and I just got another print made. Because I have never had a single issue with print quality and have only needed to a print head cleaning once during the entire 4 years I've owned this printer, I don't think that the printhead is at the end of its life. I did find another case where someone bought a brand new PRO-100 with a sealed printhead, installed the printhead in their old printer and STILL got the B200 error. I know that a lot of artists and photographers still use and stand by the PRO-100 and I'm hoping I'll be able to get a lot more use out of mine. I bought and sold Epson 13" printers for several years (1400, R1800, R1900, R2000, R2400, R2880, etc) and, while they printed amazingly when they were working, the inks would clog in them even after a week of not printing anything. After not printing anything on my PRO-100 for over 4 months and then getting perfect results as soon as I did use it again, I was ready to stick with Canon for life! Aaaaand, I wasn't intending to type a novel here but hopefully it will help anyone else who finds this video and needs some encouragement. I'd be very interested to know how much printing you've been able to do since resetting yours and if the error has come back or not. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips! :)

Thank you as well, had the same error and it worked first time!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Worked on the first try. All I did was unplug the printer, press the power button, plug in the printer while keeping button pressed, kept it pressed for a 1 minute and released. Code resolved after that!.

How i fix my b200 error temporary. Some times it will work for days or just a few hours. 1. Take out the inks. 2. Unplug power cable and leave it unplug for 24 hours. 3. Power on without ink. 4. Put ink back it. 5. If the error goes away use as normal if not repeat. 6. Repeat as needed.

One more thing. Rick Johnson sells recycled cartridges that are originals. Get a second set of those. You know everytime you replace a ink cartridge the printer consumes ink from all the rest. If one cartridge needs replacement put in a whole new set. That stops a continual single replacement and the wasting of the other colors. The newer printers are still in the works as to what can be done with 3d party inks and ink purges. Spend sometime researching what you need and listening to the pit falls others are getting into before you end up trying to fix another printer.

I have one of those too. But, mine is still fresh, because I learn everything I can about them before I turn them on. So, I joined Jose Rodriguez's site, jtoolman photo techie and the canon pro 100 group on facebook. I had a Epson 1430 and clogged up the print head. So, as I was working through that I bought the 100. After a couple of weeks I realized that my lack of printing would likely destroy this canon head because it is a heated system. So epson came out with the xp15000 and sadly that was just before the ecotank 8550. I noticed the xp15000 was on sale around Christmas for 299. CDN. plus tax. Jose has archived individualized videos on the 15000 and the current models. Epsons use a pressure system which is more forgiving than Canons totally. The key with the 15000 is buying some software to disable the ink monitoring system effectively making it chipless. The cartridges are small but you can run ink into them and just reinstall them. Most 3d party ink users in north America are using ink from www.precisioncolors.com/. Also we are using qimage for it many uses including a programable printing time to keep your head functioning. But it is all planned obsolescence isn't it? Why park the head above the waste ink tank? Instruct the printer to move to the center for cart. Replacement. As soon as it unlock from the dock, unplug it. Make a micro fiber soak pad on a thin piece of plastic, soak it with windex. Move the head gently over this. Your going to have to play to get the right thickness. So leave the printer for some time. Or you could slide saran wrap under it and cover as much of it as possible. With all printers air intrusion dries the head. So, buy a plastic cover to protect your investment. Jose doesn't want the manufacturers on his ass so he has all but cut me off. If I were you I would get a pro 300 pigmented printer and look into pigmented ink from permission. Because I don't know how long you intend your prints to last. The 15000 is very good, cheap and for less than 500 your good to go. That is hundreds less than anything else. Oh, the 15000 comes with a removable waste ink tank as well

THANK YOU!!! Had same error same issue. Did it three times and it came to LIFE!

I came here with the same problem. I was able to fix it immediately. Here is what I noticed. I moved, so my printer was boxed up and recently unpacked. It worked fine before the move. I powered it up and got the flashing white yelllow and b200 error. I noticed the print cartridges were parked on the left side of the printer I powered everything off and gently pulled the cartridges to the center I then held the power button and plugged it back in I kept the power plugged in for well over a minute and then released it which powered down the machine I then restarted it and it went through it's start up sequence and finished by moving the cartridges to the right (not the left as they originally were found) So the power button down while plugging it in is some sort of reset and I think is the print assembly not being in the right place caused the error. I also made sure every ink cartridge was seated properly but they seemed to be okay so maybe not a factor. All good now So thank you. My printer is working except for me it only took a few minutes.

Will try this.. Was able to release the ink carriage thanks to you but fingers crossed this next step works or going back to Epson. Thank you for your time putting this up and saving me hours if not days of ADDED frustration on top of the already existing frustration... ha!

That didn't solve the problem for me Thank you Still looking for solution

I've got the 27" version of this monitor experiencing horizontal flickering, going to use this video to see if I can fix the issue. FYI on the P2715Q there are 4 screws holding that ribbon cable for the OSD buttons.

Hey, I have a gigabyte m32u, and I am having the same problem but only started after a month of playing on it. Do you think think I can fix it like you did with yours?

I have watched 3 of your videos, I have not seen the grey lines you are supposed to be fixing. I have P2715Q that started with a grey section making up about 1/4 of the lower left screen, it would flash/blink a little or be continuous. Or it might go away completely for various times 15 minutes or an hr. At one time 2/3rds from the bottom up was grey. As I write this it is working properly, but I'm sure it will come back.

To the people watching this video, it's going to work 100% - just follow it to the end. Definitely have a can of air spray, take your time, don't rush it and move slowly. Another word of advice, watch all parts before starting. Also, thank you so much for posting this video and for the awesome content! It's been incredibly helpful ♥️♥️♥️

That lenticular print sheet is to diffuse the light I guess.

Great job. 👍👍👍 Going to try this asap.

Many thanks for the video! Had the same issue, replacing the diffuser has solved the issue for me and I do not see any site effects. Was having faint horizontal in three of P2415Q, hard to believe Dell did nothing with it. The screen was on a market for 5 years. The fix is not very difficult, just like in the video.

You do not need to do this. Use the monitor for a while (about a week, intensively) and the stripes disappear. Had this with both my P2415Q.

My monitor is different but has the same problem.

your channel look so lonely. Here, I subscribe you man. good content. keep it up.

Thank you. Worked for me. But I had 3 layers 1 thick and 2 thin. I put thick between 2 thin. Everything perfect now.

I need to buy a polarizer sheet replacement for this monitor (the heavy sheet). Do you have any ideas where to find?

You are the 🌟. Thank you for your time spent.

I am not alone. Have same problem. 👍🏻
