    Card READER Problem---PLEASE HELP ME!

    My sister passed away leaving me an copier called the Canon C300. Its a big old machine. I am trying to install it in my friends business and when I turn it on it says "Insert your Control Card".

    Bottom line is I do not have a control card. I have already removed the actual control card reader because that is what some dude from a Canon Authorized Dealer told me to do but the message still comes up when i power up the machine. Is there anyway to make this go away so we can just make copies. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help! Thanks.

    Call me at 909 263 0763 and I will be eternally grateful

    card reader

    When you removed the card reader you need to put a jumper on the wiring connector you unplugged to remove the card reader, I know I still have some if you need one, shoot me a message.

      You could just short out pins 2 - 4 to make the loop, that will get you going until the connecter gets to you.
