    I'm not trained on that particular model but a 220 code is usually an exposer lamp or exp. heater

      E220

      That is a scan lamp error on all Canons that I know of. Check continuity on the lamp. Then check the in line fuse. It could also have a shorted scan cable.
      Hope that helps.

        Thanks T6895 & Don,

        I'll try to double check the scanning area

        Thanks

          You have to check ccd cable good or not; or you try to change CCD unit

            Technically E220 is a lamp intensity error. The lamp intensity can be low (or high, but usually low) for many reasons:

            1) lamp lights slowly, late, dimly, or flickers: could be a bad lamp, bad inverter, bad lamp harness, bad lamp heater, or just really cold in the room (fluorescent lamps don't light very quickly or very brightly in the cold).
            2) perception that the lamp is not bright enough: CCD, CCD cable, Image processing board.

            One is much more likely, and much less expensive than Two.
            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              I have an idea for E220
              You can check CCD cable
              Scanning lamp sensor ( it's connect to scanning lamp )
              I hope you can solve your problem

                Check continuity on scan cable

                If you place your leads where power plugs into scan cable throught he back of the frame and drive the scanner by hand. I'll bet there is a short. These old canons do it all the time. There would be continuity at home position, but as the scanner moves a crack opens up in the cable breaking contact. I know I sound like a broken record, but I have changed many of these cables over tne years. Good Luck, Don

                  try to change the thermistors in the heater bloc
                  i know it seems to be illogical with this error code e220
                  but i made the experiance with np6220 i changed all but the error e220 still appears time to time
                  but when i changed the heater thermistors the problem is fixed. all you have is to try . bye !

                    hI mate,

                    You most likely have a fluoro lamp problem.Check the ends of the fluoro lamp if it is blackened then it is gone.The green fluoro lamp is used in this model for scanning.

                          The scanning lamp turns on abnormally.
                          you chek scanning lamp has a fault.
                          intensity sensor has a fault.
                          CCD PCB has a fault.
                          composite power supply PCB has
                          a fault.

                          DC controller PCB has a fault

                              You also need to check the *White plate* undernet the metal plate at lefthand side of the scanning compartment.it must be clean.

                              also try to runs the CCD auto adjustment in *2&8* /function

                              this error code refer major on Light intensity low/light intensity not detected by the ccd.
                              simple words is the scanning lamp seems not turns on.

                              Normally For me after runs the ccd auto adjustment its get rid.
