(4 Easy Ways) - How to Fix Canon MX922 Support Code B200

Sometimes when you don’t use your printer for a long time and then use it after a while, the canon b200 error might occur. The canon mx922 uses two types of cartridges; 2 and 4+. They both are likely to dry if not used for a long time.

Replica ink cartridge

If you buy some low quality or fake ink cartridges for your printer, you will face a canon Pixma b200 error. It is recommended to use original canon ink to avoid this error.

Jamming of cartridge

There have been such cases in the past that due to paper jams in the printer, the ink cartridge also gets jammed over the printer grip. If you see canon printer error b200, check for jam cartridge as well and remove it to resume printing.

Overheating

If you’re printing too many papers at the same time for a little longer, you might see canon printer error b200 flashing on the screen. What happens is; the print head gets overheated due to overloaded jobs and the printer loses connection to its cartridge. That causes the printer to stop working and display Canon mx922 support code b200.

Waste tank filled

There is an ink waste tank in canon mx922. It stores the wasted ink during the cleaning process. If the tank is already full, you will see canon mx922 error b200. You need to check the tank and empty it to resolve the issue.

How to fix the canon B200 error code?

Here are the steps to fix the Canon B200 error code.

Restart the printer

This technique does not work every time but there are chances of working out in some cases. Turn the printer off, unplug it and let it cool for at least 2 hours. Restart it again and see if the canon mx922 support code b200 goes away.

Reinstall cartridges

Clean and reinstall printer head

Take off the printer head and gently clean the gold contacts on its backside. Once it’s all clean, ensure that the ribbon cable connector is firmly plugged into the printer head while reinstalling it back.
Once you’ve removed the printer head put it under a hot water tap and flush all the ink out before putting it back on.

Reload the drivers

One reason for the canon b200 error could be a corrupted driver. Reinstall the printer’s drivers again and see if that resolves the issue.

One of these methods will definitely help you resolve the error. If it’s still not resolved, you can connect the Canon printer’s customer support to guide you on what else you can do.

Changing the device

If the issue persists or keeps occurring, again and again, it may be a sign that you need to change the device. Invest some money in a new device and take a fresh start. The new device will have better quality and performance.

The reason that people prefer repairing the existing devices is budget limitations. Buying a new printer is going to cost a fortune and some people don’t have that much budget.

In that case, it is fine to keep using the old printer and take the above mentioned steps to keep it working.

Moreover, some people, especially the elderly, don’t change the device because they hardly get their hands on the existing one. The idea of bringing a new device and learning to operate it scares them and they convince themselves to keep using it till it no longer gives the required results.

It might sound weird but it is true. This is a very genuine issue with people around the world that forces them to keep using old devices for the longest time.

In that case, we would suggest that almost all Canon devices have a similar operating mechanism. So changing or upgrading the device is going to change the look and feel of it, the steps to carry our tasks will remain similar. Buying new gadgets is always worth the risk.

Conclusion

Canon printers are a very reliable name in the market for providing good quality prints. The errors are also resolvable but if you’re opting for cleaning the printer head, you need to be extremely careful. It is not recommended to do that unless you have some know-how about electronics, you might end up destroying it. Try out other methods first and then go for this one.

Just to share my experience of B200 error (with ix6800) printer. When I saw all the forums, I assumed it meant the printer was destined for scrap. It errored mid print, but 1 cartridge was totally emptied. I tried most of the suggestions posted on the various forums. In the end I removed all the cartridges (having replaced most) – sprayed WD-40 on the heads. Left it unpowered for 24 hours, fitted cartridges back – and viola! the error code had cleared. So not a sophisticated fix, but it worked for me.
