The process to reset a Canon PIXMA printer can vary depending on the specific model you have. However, there’s a general method that you can try:

Power Off: Ensure that your printer is turned off.

Hold the Stop/Reset Button: Locate the “Stop” or “Stop/Reset” button on your printer’s control panel. Press and hold this button.

Power On the Printer: While holding the “Stop/Reset” button, press and hold the power button to turn the printer on. Keep holding the “Stop/Reset” button as you do this.

Continue Holding: After turning on the printer, continue holding the “Stop/Reset” button for about 5-10 seconds. You might see the printer’s lights or display panel flash or change during this time.

Release the Button: After the time has passed, release the “Stop/Reset” button. The printer might show some initial startup messages or lights.

Navigate Menus (If Necessary): Depending on your printer model, you might need to navigate through the control panel menu using arrow buttons or other controls. Look for a “Reset” or “Factory Reset” option. If you find such an option, select it using the appropriate buttons and follow the prompts to confirm the reset.

Power Cycle: Once the reset is complete, turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source for about 10-15 seconds. Then plug it back in and turn it on.

Please note that the exact steps and button names can vary based on your specific Canon PIXMA printer model. If you’re not sure about the steps for your printer, I recommend referring to your printer’s user manual. The manual should provide detailed instructions on how to perform a reset or factory reset for your specific model.

Additionally, keep in mind that performing a factory reset will often erase personalized settings and configurations, so you might need to set up your printer again after the reset. If you’re still unsure about the process, you can also reach out to Canon printer technical support UK for assistance.
