If your canon printer shows you a warning message “Printer Maintenance Required” you are required to restore the canon printer to factory settings to get rid of that message. A factory reset will return your printer’s settings to what they were when they first came out of the box.

There are two ways to factory reset Canon printers.

1. By Reset Button
2. By Setup Option

Factory settings by using Reset Button

Note: All the models of canon printers have a Reset button at the back of the body of the printer which can be used to restore the printer to factory settings.

1. Turn off your canon printer.
2. Unplug its power cable from the power source and disconnect it completely.
3. Plug the power cable back into the power source and connect the cable to the printer again.
4. Tap on the Stop/Reset button.
5. Tap the Power button for 5 seconds.
6. Now, release the Stop/Reset button.
7. Keeping the ‘Power’ button pressed down, press the ‘Stop/Reset’ button 5 times.
8. Release the Power button.
