The Alarm or Power light flashes orange 5 times consecutively in my Canon Pixma printer. What does this mean? When the alarm or power light flashes for 5 times, your printer may have a busted printhead. You can reseat the printhead, confirm if it is installed or locked properly, or you may need to replace the printhead. You can also reset the printer to clear the printer buffer. Ask Canon support if you need further repair for your printer.
