Canon Canon PIXMA TS3520 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer 1430 Error Fix: Support Code 1430/1401 — Print Head / Ink Cartridge Not Recognized

Error code 1430 on the Canon Canon PIXMA TS3520 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer means: Support Code 1430/1401 — Print Head / Ink Cartridge Not Recognized. The printer cannot recognize the print head or one or more ink cartridges. On models with a removable print head (like the TR8620a), the print head may not be fully seated — lift the scanning unit, remove the print head, and reseat it firmly until it clicks. On cartridge models, remove each cartridge and reseat it. Clean the gold/copper electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer slot with a dry lint-free cloth. If a new cartridge is not recognized, make sure the orange protective tape/cap has been completely removed. Canon printers may reject third-party or refilled cartridges — firmware updates have been known to block non-OEM cartridges. On MegaTank models (G series), ensure the ink tanks are snapped into place properly and the ink valve is open.
