 | Canon s330 by Ruth (11/10/04 6:22 AM) reply | + / - | Hi
I recently had a problem with my canon printer s330. It just stopped printing and all I got when I powered it on was an orange blinking light (six or seven orange flashes followed by one longer green flash continuously). I contacted the Canon repair centre who were next to useless. They didn't offer any explanation only an offer have an engineer look at it. The cost of this would have been more than I originally paid for the printer. Anyway, to cut a long story short here is the resolution to my problem. I just entered this sequence and it sorted the problem out. (I think I probably need to replace the waste ink tank as well which I am still trying to find out about - but at least I can print for now.)GENERIC “S” SERIES RESET CODE.
This reset is an emailed submission. But the person who sent it in requested their name to be withheld.
This reset is for the S series printers. This does look like the same reset for the S9000 but has a little more detail.
Waste Ink Counter Reset.
(1) Turn off the printer.
(2) Press and hold the RESUME button, then press and hold the POWER button.
(3) Release the RESUME button, Next press and release the RESUME button two(2) more times in succession, then release the POWER button. The printer's carriage will “reset" or move momentarily.
If the above was properly performed the printer will enter the "Service Mode".
(4) Press the RESUME button 4 times, this will select the clear waste ink counter function. The lamp will alternate (change) color with each key press.
1. Service/Factory test printout, including ink sensor check.
2. EEPROM - Info printout.
3. EEPROM – Initialization.
4. Reset the Waste ink counter.
5. Printer model setting. (More selections beyond this point – However it is best leave them unaltered – You have been warned!)
After selecting the desired mode (eg 4), press the POWER button to "set" the change, and return to the top of the function selection menu. Press the POWER button again to restart the printer.
If you have a reset code that you would like to share please feel free to send it to CANONHELP@YAHOO.COM

Taking the printer apart was quite difficult, with many plastic clips to gently prise. You must do this job as sooner or later the pads will not be able to take any more ink and it will go where it should not go. What have you got to lose - have ago. David
