The software commonly used to reset the Canon IP2770 is the Service Tool. This application is quite effective in resetting and resolving issues for various printers, including the error mentioned earlier.

Both versions of the Service Tool listed above are essentially the same in function. The main difference lies in the application’s interface. For this guide, we will focus on using Service Tool v3400, which is known for its broader compatibility. Download both versions for potential troubleshooting if needed.

Entering Service Mode

Before proceeding with the Canon IP2770 reset, you must first enter service mode. This step is crucial; without it, the reset process will not be successful.

Here’s how to enter service mode on your Canon IP2770:

First, turn off your printer completely. Ensure the power light is off.
Press and hold the Resume button for two seconds, then press and hold the Power button simultaneously (keep holding both buttons until the indicator light turns green).
Once the indicator light is green, release the Resume button but continue holding the Power button.
Press the Resume button five times (press and release quickly five times).
After pressing the Resume button five times, release both buttons simultaneously. The indicator light should now blink and then turn solid green, indicating service mode.
Service mode is now active.

After entering service mode, your computer or laptop might detect the Canon IP2770 as a new device. This is normal, so proceed to the next steps.

Ensure Paper is Loaded

Another important point to check is that your printer has paper loaded. This paper will be used for a test print to confirm whether the reset process is successful.

You don’t need to load a lot of paper; a few sheets will suffice. Ensure you have at least two sheets of paper in the printer.

Resetting the Printer Using Service Tool v3400

Now, we move to the core process: resetting the Canon IP2770 using the Service Tool application. We will focus on Service Tool v3400 for this guide due to its reliability.

Extract the downloaded Service Tool v3400 file on your computer.
Locate and run the application by double-clicking on the executable file.
In the Service Tool application, under the Clear Ink Counter section, change the Absorber option to Main. Then, click Set. Wait briefly, and the printer will perform a printout with the result D=000*0.

This image shows the Service Tool v3400 interface with the “Main” option selected under “Clear Ink Counter” and the “Set” button highlighted.
In the Ink Absorber Counter section, repeat the process: change the Absorber option to Main and click Set. If successful, a message “A function was finished” will appear. Click OK.

This image displays the “A function was finished” message box in Service Tool v3400, indicating successful execution of a function.
Next, click on EEPROM. A new window might appear; leave the default settings (Paper = RearTray) as they are and click OK. Wait for the printer to perform an automatic print.

This image illustrates the EEPROM option in Service Tool v3400 and the default paper source setting in the pop-up window.
On the printed sheet, you will see a lot of text. The important part to look for is the line TPAGE(TTL=00000). Sometimes, the numbers after TTL may vary, which is generally not an issue.
The reset process is now complete within the Service Tool application.

By following these steps using Service Tool v3400, you should have successfully reset your Canon IP2770 printer.
