Power Issue on imageCLASS MF272dw / MF273dw & LBP122dw Printers

Thank you for choosing Canon products.

Canon has identified a potential power issue affecting select imageCLASS MF272dw, MF273dw, and LBP122dw printers. Under certain operating conditions, affected units may experience a sudden shutdown during printing and cannot be restarted via standard power cycling (power button OFF/ON).

We offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this issue may cause. Canon takes product quality seriously, and we are committed to providing reliable support to ensure your product performs as expected.

Temporary Workaround
If your printer experiences a sudden shutdown and does not turn back on try the following:

  1. Unplug the power cord directly from the wall outlet or power source.
  2. Wait 10 minutes to allow the internal residual charge and error state to fully clear.
  3. Plug the power cord back in and power on the printer.

Note: Unplugging the device for 10 minutes may temporarily restore functionality; however, the issue can reoccur until a permanent repair is completed.
