Message: [QUOTE="Pitstop, post: 229964, member: 27238"] Hi My G3501 Ink pad was full and the printer locked up - Power and Fault lamps blinking in a series of seven flashes the repeating. After changing the pads (£11 cost only), which was simpler than I thought. The fault remained. How to reset was the issue and I finally found a sequence written some years ago that finally worked: Canon G3000 waste ink tank reset Step 1. (Service mode) Printer off Hold the stop button then press the power button and keep holding the power button. Release the stop button. Press the stop button 5 times then release the power button. Step 2. (Waste ink tank reset) While in service mode Press the stop button 5 times then the power button once wait for it to reset and run a page. Then press the stop key 3 times then the power button wait for the printer to print out a page then turn of the printer. Initially I only did Step 1 and was confused then applied Step 2 and all is reset and corrected. [/QUOTE]
