Like any electronic device, your Canon IP2770 printer may encounter errors that disrupt your printing tasks. In some situations, performing a reset can be the most effective solution to restore your printer to its optimal working condition. While Canon provides resources and tools, including the Service Tool (often referred to as the Canon IP2770 resetter), not every user is familiar with how to use this application.

This guide is designed to provide you with a comprehensive, step-by-step approach on how to reset your Canon IP2770 printer manually. We will utilize the Service Tool, offering you the knowledge to troubleshoot and resolve common printer errors from the comfort of your home or office.

Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting Your Canon IP2770 Printer Manually

To successfully reset your Canon IP2770 printer, it’s crucial to follow each step in the order presented. This systematic approach ensures that no step is missed, maximizing the chances of a successful reset.

This method has been previously tested and proven effective in resolving issues such as the Canon IP2770 error 5B00, demonstrating its reliability in addressing common printer problems. Let’s proceed with the necessary steps.

1. Download the Service Tool

The essential software for resetting your Canon IP2770 printer is the Service Tool. This application is widely recognized for its effectiveness in performing resets and resolving various printer issues.

You can download the application from the link provided below:

[Download Service Tool v1074 & v3400](Link to download – replace with actual download link if possible, or remove if not available)

Both Service Tool versions (v1074 and v3400) essentially offer the same functionality for resetting your printer. The primary difference lies in their user interface. It is recommended to download both versions, as we will provide instructions for using each in the subsequent steps.

2. Enter Service Mode on Your Canon IP2770

Before initiating the reset process, you must first put your Canon IP2770 into service mode. This is a mandatory step, as the reset will not be successful without properly entering service mode.

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

1. Begin by turning off your printer completely.
2. Press and hold the Resume button for approximately two seconds, then press and hold the Power button simultaneously (ensure the power indicator light is green before releasing the resume button).
3. While still holding the Power button, release the Resume button.
4. Press the Resume button five times in succession (press and release quickly, five times in total).
5. Release both the Power and Resume buttons at the same time. You should observe the indicator light blinking and then turning solid green.
6. Your printer is now in service mode.

Once your printer is in service mode, your computer should recognize the Canon IP2770 as a new device. This is a normal occurrence, and you can proceed to the next steps without concern.

3. Load Paper into the Printer

An often-overlooked step, but crucial for verifying the success of the reset, is to ensure your printer has paper loaded. This paper will be used for a test print to confirm whether the reset process has been successful.

You don’t need to load a large stack of paper; just a few sheets will suffice. Ensure that you have at least two sheets of paper in the printer before proceeding.

4. Perform the Reset Using the Service Tool

Now we proceed to the core of the process: resetting your Canon IP2770 using the Service Tool application. As you have downloaded two versions of the Service Tool, we will provide instructions for both v1074 and v3400.

Note: Some users have reported that Service Tool v1074 works seamlessly, while others experience a “not responding” issue with v1074 and find v3400 to be more reliable. Therefore, we provide both options to cater to different system configurations.

Using Service Tool v1074

1. Extract the downloaded Service Tool v1074 file on your computer.

2. Locate and open the Service Tool application by double-clicking on the executable file.

3. In the Service Tool window, under the Clear Ink Counter section, click on Main. Wait for the process to complete. Upon completion, your printer should automatically print a page with the text D=000*0.

4. In the Operation section, click EEPROM Clear. If successful, a message box will appear stating “A function was finished”. Click OK to acknowledge the message.

5. Finally, click on EEPROM. A new window may appear; leave the settings at their default values and click OK. The printer will then perform another automatic print.

6. Examine the printed page. It will contain a lot of information, but the key indicator of a successful reset is the line TPAGE(TTL=00000). *Note: The TTL number might vary, and this is acceptable.

7. The reset process using Service Tool v1074 is now complete.

Using Service Tool v3400

1. Extract the files from the downloaded Service Tool v3400 archive.

2. Run the Service Tool v3400 application by double-clicking the executable file.

3. In the Service Tool interface, locate the Clear Ink Counter section. Change the Absorber option to Main and then click Set. Wait briefly, and your printer should print a page displaying D=000*0.

4. Navigate to the Ink Absorber Counter section. Similar to the previous step, change the Absorber option to Main and click Set. Upon successful execution, you will see the “A function was finished” message. Click OK.

5. Next, click on the EEPROM button. If a new window pops up, maintain the default settings (typically Paper = RearTray) and click OK. The printer will proceed to print automatically.

6. Review the printout. It will be filled with technical details, but the important line to look for is TPAGE(TTL=00000). *Keep in mind, the TTL number may differ slightly, which is normal.

7. The reset process using Service Tool v3400 is finalized.

With two sets of instructions available, you can choose either Service Tool version for the reset. The critical factor is completing steps 1 through 7 successfully, regardless of whether you use version 1074 or 3400.

5. Restart Your Canon IP2770 Printer

As the final step, simply restart your Canon IP2770 printer. After restarting, your printer should be functioning normally again. To verify, try printing a test document from Microsoft Word or any similar application.

This concludes the guide on how to reset your Canon IP2770 printer. We hope that this detailed article is easy to understand and helps you resolve any issues you may be experiencing with your IP2770 printer.
