check if the tab for the Carriage Cover Sensor has broken off.

Below is the cover and the highlighted area where the sensor/actuator are located.

Below is a close-up of the actuator/sensor (viewed from above).

Re: Canon iPF8300

I have tried to enter service mode with and without the print heads in. I just get the message light flashing and close carrage cover .

Re: Canon iPF8300

If you got the same error message without printheads on - that excludes that printheads are at fault.

That means that you have a electrical issue somewhere.

Start by checking in service mode (under I/O) if the sensor is working. Try with a piece of paper to see if number changes from 0 to 1.

If sensor is fine than the troubleshooting flow goes like this:

1. Check Flat Cables
2. Check Carriage board
3. Check Mainboard

Depending on your technical skills...

If you are not a technician I would strongly advice to hire one...

Re: Canon iPF8300

If you are trained on ipf series (start measuring both ends of flat cables).
Also measure the fuses on the main board to have a better idea.

I have the same problem with my printer and the problem is not so obvious. I know it's been a long time but maybe you remember if you managed to solve the problem??? And if yes, what is the solution!
I would really appreciate if you could help me.
