Source notes

Canon's TS4000 jam page treats 1300 as a paper-jam condition and walks users through clearing the output slot, cassette feed slot, or inside-printer path.

Built from the TS4000-series support-code index and the individual TS4000 pages for the codes below. Canon wording can vary slightly by region, but the meanings are family-level Canon guidance.

Printer error codes can vary a little by firmware, region, and exact model variant. Use this guide as a family-level starting point and stop if the next step would require disassembly or service-mode changes.

Known family variants: TS4020, TS4025, TS4040, TS4050
