Canon Support Code B200: Error that needs a Canon repair
🧑🔧 Needs servicing
On the models where Canon still lists B200, the manual says "An error requiring a repair has occurred" (or "requiring you to contact the service center"). Canon gives no fix you can do at home.
What to try
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
- Contact your nearest Canon service center to request a repair.
When it needs a technician
Always. Canon's instructions are to unplug the printer and contact service.
Which models show B200
Canon documents this code for models including PIXMA E410 series, PIXMA PRO-100S series.
First steps for any printer error
- Write down the exact code before you do anything else — similar-looking codes often mean completely different things.
- Power the printer off, unplug it for a couple of minutes, then power it back on. A surprising number of transient errors clear here.
- Open the covers and check for paper scraps, packaging material, or anything blocking the carriage.
- Check the cartridges or tanks are genuine, correctly seated, and not empty.
- Confirm the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip or extension lead.
- Check your model’s own manual — codes are model-specific, and the manual is the authority for your machine.
