Download Canon Service Tool v.4720

Canon printers provide two tools that can be used for printer maintenance and repair. The tool used for printer maintenance is called the "Maintenance Tool", while the tool used for printer repair is called the "Service Tool".

The Maintenance Tool is installed automatically when installing the printer driver. The menu provided by the Maintenance Tool include: Cleaning, Deep cleaning, Bottom plate cleaning, Roller cleaning, Print head alignment, Nozzle check, etc. To open the Maintenance Tool: press START, Devices and Printers, right-click the printer, select Printing preferences, select the Maintenance tab.
Canon Service Tool v.4720

Service Tool is a tool used to reset the printer, after replacing printer components, such as: Logic Board Assy, Waste Ink Absorber, Print Head, etc. When repairing Canon printers, the component is replaced, after the components are installed, the printer must be reset to adjust the new components installed. The menus provided by the Service Tool include: Test print, EEPROM, Nozzle check, EEPROM Save, Set Destination, Clear ink counter, Ink absorber counter, etc.

To reset the printer Canon can be done in two ways, namely manual reset and Service Tool reset. For manual resets, read the Reset Canon Printers Manually post, while resetting with the Service Tool will be discussed in the post below.

As in the case of the error "Waste ink absorber is full", this error occurs because the ink absorber is full, with the waste ink counter value reaching 100%. In the process of repairing, the waste ink absorber that is physically full, must be replaced with a new one. After the new waste ink absorber is installed, and the printer has been reassembled, the next step is to reset the waste ink counter, which was originally 100% reset to zero, using the Service Tool. In the case of a "Waste ink absorber is full" error, the use of a Service Tool that is not accompanied by replacing the "Waste ink absorber" will be ineffective. This is due, absorbent waste ink that is full, is forced to continue to collect waste ink, and it is very possible in the future that waste ink will overflow out of the printer.

Service Tool can be used if the printer is in Service Mode. If the printer is in user mode, the Service Tool cannot be used and an error appears when used. Service Tool can be used for several types of printers, and when the Service Tool does not support the printer, an error will appear as a sign that the Service Tool does not support the printer. Service Tool is a portable application and can be used without being installed.



How to use Service Tool v.4720
1.  Enter Service Mode
2.  How to reset the printer with Service Tool v.4720


1.  Enter Service Mode
Service Tool can be used if the printer is in Service Mode. As for the way to enter Service Mode, you must press the Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel button (adjust your printer, what buttons are available), and the Start/Power/On/Off button (adjust your printer, what buttons are available) automatically alternating in a certain amount. To enter Service Mode, each printer has a different way, but the steps are almost the same. The following are the steps to enter Service Mode.

1. The power cable is connected, the USB cable is connected to the printer and PC/Laptop, and the printer is off.
2. Press and hold the Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel button (adjust your printer, what buttons are available)
3. Press and hold the Start/Power/On/Off button (customize your printer, what buttons are available).
4. Release the Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel button. For the Start/Power/On/Off button still on hold (don't release)
5. Press the Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel button x times, then release the Start/Power/On/Off button (read; how to do step 5.)
6. After the printer is in Service Mode, open the Canon Service Tool.

How to do step 5.
Example: the printer being repaired is Canon MG2100, and the x value is 5 times. So the way to do step 5 is as follows.

-  Press and release the Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel button 4 times, then press and hold the Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel button 1 time, then release both at the same time (Stop/Reset/Resume/Cancel, and Start/Power/On/Off)

Note:
f the light stops blinking and turns green, the printer is in Service Mode. If the lights keep flashing, or turn orange, the printer failed to enter Service Mode. Turn off the printer and repeat the procedure to enter Service Mode.

The value of x adjusts the type of printer that is fixed. For Canon printers in general, the x value is 2 and 5 times.. But there are also x values ​​that are 3 times, such as: iP90, i70, i80. For the value x = 6 times, it is used to disable error detection on the scanner and start the machine in service mode. Example: on the Canon MG2100, the value of x is 5 times. To disable error detection on the scanner, the x value is 6 times.

  1. Thanks for the tools. Can I use it to disable the automatic head cleaning of ts5050? It uses too much ink I want to control when to clean the head and use the ink to do so.

    2. What is this for then? 16. User Cleaning OFF

    3. Service Tool has many buttons, and unfortunately not all buttons can be used. In my opinion, there are restrictions from Canon Companies in using Service Tools.

      To distinguish buttons that can be used and buttons that can not be used. For buttons that can be used, when the button is pressed the message "A function was finished", while for buttons that cannot be used, when the button is pressed the message "Error! (Error code: 002)".

      For "User Cleaning OFF", this button includes a button that cannot be used, so when the button is pressed a message "error code: 002" will appear.

  2. Thank you very much for the enlightenment provided. Can you please explain the main differences between service tool v 4720 and v 4718?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In my opinion, Service Tool v.4718 and Service Tool v.4720 are the same. In the document "Canon G1000 series, G2000 series, G3000 series Service Manual" written to reset, use ST.4710 or leter. Other pages in this document explain the function button, "Service Tool v.4718".

      From this document I draw conclusions:
      1. Canon released ST.4710, and unfortunately information about this service tool is not yet available on the internet.
      2. Canon released ST.4718. For ST.4718 I found this file in the kelvenbox tool.
      3. Canon releases ST.4720. The crack version of ST.4720 is easy to get on the internet, unfortunately ST.4720 is infected with HackTool.Agent (scan with Malwarebytes)

      Similarities ST.4710, ST.4718, ST.4720
      All three Service Tools have the same interface. There are 4 tabs provided, namely Main, Other, Auto, and Pro. Based on the image information in the manual document above, because the interfaces of the three tools are the same, I concluded that the functions of the three Service Tools are the same.

      Difference ST.4710, ST.4718, ST.4720
      Important information that we must know from the Service Tool is the "Printer Support Service Tool". A lot of information on the internet that, Service Tool supports Canon printers series A, B, C, D, etc. If I match the information in the Service Manual and information on the internet, about "Sevice Tool Support Printer", there are many differences. The post that I wrote, is based on the Service Manual, and the Service Tool used to reset, according to the information in the Service manual. I do not dare to say that Service Tool version A, supports printer series A, B, C, D, etc., as most sites write, because there is no evidence that the Service Manual document says that.

      So I can only say ST.4718 and ST.4720 have the same interface, so the functions might be the same, but I don't dare to say that ST.4718 for printers A, B, C, etc, or ST.4720 for printer A, B, C, etc, because there is no service manual document that states it. What I'm afraid of is that incorrect information about the "Printer Support Service Tool" will provoke users to try different Service Tools, to reset the printer, because in the Service Manual document only says "use Service Tool version A" or "use Service Tool version A or leter".

    2. Thanks for the prompt reply.
      From that data I understand it is better to use the Service Tool v.4718 for my printer canon G1000 as it is a safe tool without any hacking infections.
      Mean time I like to mention that I have drilled a hole through the back plate of the printer and took the flexible drain line out of the printer and direct it to a tray with some rags so I do not have to spend money to replace the ink absorbers. Only renew the rags is needed when they are fully absorbed.

      Delete
    3. That's a good idea and easy to do.

  3. Thanks a lot for the explanations and for the service tool v 4718 and 4720.

    1. error code: 002
      Meaning: The service tool does not support the requested operation.

      Unfortunately not all functions in the Service Tool can be used. When the function key in the Service Tool is pressed, and an error code: 002 appears, it means that the Service Tool does not support the requested command. So not all function keys in the Service Tool can be used.

    3. In the Service Manual Canon G1000 series, G2000 series, G3000 series it says that to reset the printer use Service Tool v.4718. Unfortunately in the Service Manual it is not explained, what printers are included in the G2000 series. If G2020 can't be reset with ST v.4718, try using a newer Service Tool, for example ST v.4905.

    1. How to reset the Canon G2020 printer

      Reset can be done if the printer is in Service Mode. Here's how to enter Service Mode.

      The printer is off, the power cable is connected to a power source, and the printer is connected to the computer with a USB cable.
      1. Press and hold the Stop button (do not release)
      2. Press and hold the ON button (do not release). Now both buttons (Stop and ON) are still being held.
      3. Release only the Stop button, while the ON button is still being held.
      4. While holding down the ON button, press the Stop button 5 times.
      5. When finished pressing the Stop button 5 times, then release the ON button.
      6. Wait for a while, the ON LED will flash and finally turn green. If the ON LED is green (not flashing) it means that the printer has entered Service Mode.
      7. After the printer enters Service Mode, open the Service Tool and do a reset.

      Notes:
      - Service Tool can be used to reset the printer if the printer is connected to a computer with a USB cable.
      - Service Tool cannot be used to reset the printer if the printer is connected to a computer with a Wireless connection.
      - If steps No.1 - 6 have been carried out correctly, but the ON LED continues to flash, it means the printer failed to enter Service Mode.
      - If the printer fails to enter Service Mode, turn off the printer and repeat steps No.1 - 6, and in step No.4, press the Stop button 6 times (4. While holding down the ON button, press the Stop button 6 times.)
      - If the Stop button is pressed 5 or 6 times, and the ON LED keeps flashing, try the following:

      The printer is off, the power cable is connected to a power source, and the printer is connected to the computer with a USB cable.
      a. Press the ON button to turn on the printer.
      b. Wait a few moments, then ON and Alarm LEDs will flash alternately (the printer has detected an error, ignore it.)
      c. Press and hold the Stop button for about 20 seconds, then release. If ON and Alarm LEDs are still flashing alternately then ignore it.
      d. Press the ON button to turn off the printer.
      e. Repeat the procedure to enter Service Mode (No.1-6) above correctly.

      - If all the solutions above have been done correctly and the ON LED keeps flashing, it means that the EEPROM IC is damaged. If there is damage to the EEPROM IC, the printer cannot enter Service Mode.
      - For the replacement of the EEPROM IC, you need the help of a printer repair professional.
      - The Service Tool used to reset the Canon G2020 is ST.4718 or higher, for example ST.4905.
