Are there any maintenance tips to prevent error code 5100 on a Canon G2010?

To prevent error 5100, regularly ensure you use good quality paper and load it correctly to avoid jams. Avoid forcing paper into the tray. Periodically clean the inside of your printer, especially around the print head path and the encoder strip, to prevent dust or ink buildup. Never attempt to remove paper jams with excessive force, as this can damage internal components. Keeping the printer dust-free and using it regularly helps maintain moving parts.
