[jchacon]

Thank you, you fixed my slow printing issue on the Canon MF743CDW :)

You are my HERO! I didn't remember ID and PIN for my MF643Cdw and Canon support asked about 100€ to reset it! Many many thanks

[wruizm]

You saved me!! I lost the Syst Mgt ID and PIN lol Thank you so much!!

[akun]

Thank you so much for this! I've also forgot my Remote UI credentials and printer was stuck behind a login screen. Everything is fine now :)

Thank you for the excellent information, i have an error "paper jam" even when I take the paper out from the printer it keeps giving me this error, do you have a solution for this issue? with respect

Thak you. es el único tutorial que funciona!!! Maravilloso!!! funciona para una MF450 - 455 de Canon. Muchas gracias!!

When I push home, left of home then right of home and the volume button it just goes to the volume screen. It's the same printer as yours.

[shadowscythechampion]

Is there another way for hard reset? The button isn't working

[MB-mwxr]

Great video and explanation of the steps! My issue is I cannot find the application (either on the printer itself or driver on my Mac PC) to clean the print head? It shouldn’t be this difficult to locate. Thanks in advance!

This does not work on a 743CDW, tried a dozen times, pressing the volume button after the suggested button presses just brings up the volume, not the menu shown here on this video.

It will not work for me. Unplugged and tried several times.. I was messing around and must have set a pin i cannot remember and i am stuck. Any advise?

My daughter broke my LCD screen. Canon replaced the printer. But i still have a fully functional printer, just with no screen. Is it viable to replace it? Use it remotely? I'd like to give it to my parents bc it's a great printer, seems a shame to just trash it.

This procedure does not work on my MF644CDW. This is a fairly new printer. I purchased it about 6 months ago. After pressing the Home, left of Home, right of Home, Volume, and Stop.. I am left looking at the Volume screen (It is not displaying the same volume screen as your printer. It displays the Fax volume.) The touchscreen stays on the Fax volume screen. It never changes to the Service Menu screen. I have tried gently pressing, firmly pressing, pressing slightly left-right of the hidden buttons. I get the same results.

Do you have hard reset instructions for my Canon MF644CDW printer?

[damonrichardson]

This video was a life saver 🛟 thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Like many in the comments, mine stops at the volume and doesn't allow the stop button to do anything. New printer, and about to toss it out the window. $300 for an eyesore on my desk. Has ANYONE found a solution to this? My display touch barely works, so the screen isn't likely to help. Is there a way to physically reset the machine?

[dorothygallardo]

I follow this video, but after i touch volume, it gives me a fax volume screen.

I have a mf264dw Ii and after a power outage the printer gets stuck at a loading bar. I assume it's not able to boot. Tried everything

My Canon MF641Cw will not print the color red.
