- While holding those buttons, press the Power button and hold both buttons simultaneously.
- Release the Reset/Stop button while keeping the Power button pressed.
- Press the Reset/Stop button six times. Each time the button is pressed, the indicator light will flash. This indicates that the printer is responding to the command.
If successful, the printer will move the roller, and the printer display light will turn blank.
If the USB cable is connected to the computer, a notification will usually appear stating that a new device has been detected. Ignore this message, as it indicates that the printer has entered Safe Mode.

Once the printer has entered Safe Mode, the next step is to reset the EEPROM using the Canon Service Tool V3.400 application. Make sure you've downloaded this application beforehand. Here are the steps to follow:

- Click the EEPROM button to check the printer log or records
- Click the SET button to reset the color counter ( ink counter ).
- The final step is to turn off the printer and then turn it back on via the Power button.
- Try printing a document to make sure the printer is back to normal and the P07 error has been resolved.
