Accepted Answer

Error 5100 means that the waste ink absorber is full. Clean the absorber and then reset the counter by doing the following.

1. hold RESUME then press & hold POWER
2. release RESUME, then press it twice, the light should go amber then green again.
3. you're now in service mode (you can release POWER now)
4. Press RESUME 4 times
5. Press POWER once
