Pixma mp145 error e2 with service error 5100...

[5100] or E,2,2 is CARRIAGE ERROR. Maybe is the faulty of CARRIAGE UNIT, LOGIC BOARD, CARRIAGE MOTOR or TIMING **** STRIP FILM.

Hi there,
Service Error 5100
Cause : Movement of the Print Head Holder is blocked.
Action "Clear the paper jam or foreign object that is preventing the Print Hed Holder from moving, cancel printing from your computer, then turn off the machine and turn it back on again.

Hope this helps.
Please rate my response.
Thanks
Have a good day.

5100 is a Carriage Home Position Error.
try cleaning the plastic strip that runs the length of the carriage, it may be contaminated.
Use alcohol and a swab.

5100 means the carriage is not moving properly, or there is grease or ink on the encoder strip The encoder strip is the clear strip with black lines behind the carriage that runs all the way across the printer. You can clean the strip with a Q-tip just damp with water.

please suggest me service error 5100, when i start to print it appear service error 5100. what happen ?

plz try by reinstalling the printer drivers

5100 Make sure nothing is blocking the cartridge movement, if not requires service.

I have been facing same error and this was the solution.
