      If that canon tech is guessing or does not know then he must not be trained. Every canon tech would know that E20's are developer or hopper E-codes. This error has to do with yellow.
      Maybe its time for a developer change.

        if they are guessing on this code, they belong working in a garage !!!!

        u probably need a drum / dev.change- dirty sensor

        Call for a CANON TRAINED TECH.

          Hi, there. I'm new here. But just wondered if you have an update on what this ended up being? I've been having this error code for couple of months off and on and Canon engineer has pretty much done everything he can think of (and other techs) replaced developer, patch sensor etc. But it still keeps coming up. Can do one print and then need shut down.
          Baffled.

          I'm without a printer off and on now since december so tearing hair out.





          I'm not a tech, so please Be Kind.

            have them replace the Side Driver PCB-FM2-7730-000

              E0020-0188 can be caused by poor connection between Patch sensor and side driver PCB

              Replace "D KIT HARNESS ASSEMBLY" Part number FM2-2615

                Thank you both very much for your prompt replies. Coincidentally, have two Canon engineers here right now and I was a bit nervous about mentioning that I'd been interfering by looking online (some people are a bit funny about it). But both very grateful. One had just said exactly what you suggested before i pipped up...

                Thanks again.

                'Will see if this resolves issue and report back.

                    I had loads of E020 errors on these machines. After numerous visits it was the patch connection from the drum unit into the connections on the main frame. Apparently they stretch and lose voltage. Try replacing the loom if all else fails !
                    Oh...... I can't copy at the moment then ? !!!!!!

                      I know this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem right now, wondering if your problem got fixed and how?

                          Error code E006 indicates a problem at the fixing unit connection with the front cover closed.

                          The screw that secures the arm release FL2-2796-000 can loosen causing poor engagement of the fixing/feeder assembly. Make certain that the screw is tight and that the arm release is not deformed.

                              Check to see if the image patch sensor is reading the patches on the drum.

                              In service mode <Level 2>DISPLAY>DENS>, check P-SENS-P and P-SENS-S for values.
                              If the values are zero, replace the image patch sensor or check that the patch sensor shutter mechanism is working correctly.

                              Also, when was last Drum change_? & Dev change_?
