Product Service & Repair

In the first instance, we suggest that you refer to our Product Support which contains information that may be useful in helping you resolve your issue. After selecting your product, you will have access to frequently asked questions, user manuals, drivers, software and firmware downloads

Alternatively, you can arrange a repair as defined below.

1 - Request your service or repair

If you are a business:

• To be able to submit a service or repair request to Canon you must have an active Business Account.
• You can register for a Business Account or alternatively log in if you already have a Business Account.

If you are a Consumer:

• You can register for a Canon Account or alternatively log in if you already have a Canon Account.
• Alternatively, you can initiate your request by navigating to Arrange a Service or Arrange a Repair.

2 - Start your service or repair request

Log into your Canon Account or Business Account to start your service or repair request via the Support section of your account. Alternatively, if you are a consumer, you can start your request by navigating to Arrange a Repair or Arrange a Service.

You will be guided through relevant steps to complete the form (i.e. request type, fault information, proof of purchase or add additional products etc) and submit your request for your product(s). You will be advised of the applicable service location - either a Canon Professional Service Centre, our Canon Factory Service Centre or a Canon Authorised Service Partner for your product(s).

Please be aware that Canon Authorised Service Partners are independent organisations and therefore operate with their own terms & conditions. Therefore, you may wish to contact them for further details, prior to sending any products for service or repair to them.

3 - Print your order summary

Once you have submitted your request, you can print your order summary and a copy will also be emailed to you (in case you need to print at a later point). Your order summary will capture all details of your request and should be provided with your product, when sending into the service location (either a Canon Professional Service Centre, our Canon Factory Service Centre or Canon Authorised Service Partner). This will enable the service location to confirm receipt of your product(s) and provide them with all information needed to process your request.

4 - Send us your product(s)

By sending an item to a Canon Professional Service Centre, our Canon Factory Service Centre or a Canon Authorised Service Partner, you are not entering into an agreement with Canon, therefore Canon will accept no liability for any loss or damage that occurs during transit.

We recommend that your product is safely and securely packaged. Please refer to our Service & Repair FAQs below and your user manual for shipping instructions, as failure to do so may cause further damage during transit. Depending on the value of the product, you may also wish to consider insuring the shipment. You also have the option to take your product(s) in person to a Canon Professional Service Centre, our Canon Factory Service Centre or Canon Authorised Service Partner.

5 - Track the status of your request

Where a product has been sent to a Canon Professional Service Centre or Canon Factory Service Centre:

Upon receipt, your product(s) will be registered into our system and an acknowledgement message will be sent to you to confirm receipt.

Once your order has been processed and your product(s) have been assessed, we will either immediately proceed with your request (subject to our Terms of Service & Repair) or where applicable contact you to request your approval to proceed (i.e. in the case of Time & Cost Quotations).

Order acceptance and the completion of the contract for the purchase of the service & repair takes place when we initiate the requested service or repairs unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order. The terms of your contract will be stored by us and you will receive a copy in your order acknowledgement.

You will be able to check the status of your request and where necessary interact with the Canon Professional Service Centre or Canon Factory Service Centre as follows:

• Log into your Business Account and go to the support section.
• Log into your Canon Account and go to the support section.
• Or if you are a consumer and did not create a Canon Account, please go to our contact support page and select [Check Status of Ticket].

Where a product has been sent to a Canon Authorised Service Partner:

Please be aware that Canon Authorised Service Partners are independent organisations and therefore operate with their own terms & conditions and processes. Therefore, you may wish to contact them for further details, prior to sending any products for service or repair to them.

Please note: The above information is provided for customer advice only and does not constitute an agreement of any kind between Canon and the customer.

Where your product is covered by a Canon Commercial Warranty offering, any repairs performed will be free of charge to you (subject to the applicable terms & conditions which can be found via our Warranty Hub). Where your product is not covered by a Canon Commercial warranty offering, any repairs performed will be on a chargeable basis.

Alternatively, as a consumer, you benefit from statutory legal rights covering the sale of goods and you may wish to contact the seller who you purchased your product from to discuss any support options that they may be able to provide.

In the event that your Canon Commercial Warranty period has expired or the nature of the fault is not covered by it, Canon Professional Service Centres are able to offer you a range of chargeable repair options depending on your product(s):

• Fixed Price Repair: You will be provided with a fixed price, prior to sending your Product(s) to a Canon Professional Service Centre. This fixed price is offered for faults caused by normal wear & tear and will include the cost of all required spare parts, labour and return shipping. If the defect is found to be caused by other circumstances (i.e. impact or liquid damage) we will contact you to offer a Time & Cost Quotation.
• Repair Limit: You can set a Repair Limit (i.e. maximum repair fee), prior to sending your Product(s) to a Canon Professional Service Centre, however a minimum value applies. This acts as your authorisation for us to proceed with the repair and no quotation will be provided. If the repair can be completed for a fee lower than the specified Repair Limit, you will only be charged the lower amount. The provision of a Repair Limit may result in a faster repair turnaround time for you and your repair will also not be subject to a rejection fee (applicable if you request a Time & Cost Quotation)
• Time & Cost Quotation: You can request a Time & Cost Quotation, where following arrival at a Canon Professional Service Centre a technical diagnosis will be performed. We will then provide you with a quotation detailing the anticipated costs to repair your Product(s), which you will have the opportunity to either accept or decline, prior to any repair work commencing. Should you decline our quotation, a rejection fee may be applied to cover the cost of inspection.

All of our Chargeable Repair options are subject to our Terms of Service & Repair.

Where your applicable service location is a Canon Authorised Service Partner, they will also be able to offer you a Chargeable repair. However, the exact options available to you may differ and will be subject to the Canon Authorised Service Partners terms and conditions.

Please ensure that your product is safely and securely packaged and refer to your User Manual for model specific shipping instructions.

Failure to adequately prepare (and package) your product for shipment may cause further damage during transit and may result in your Canon Commercial Warranty being invalidated.

We recommend taking the following steps before shipping your Printer products:

• DO NOT remove the Print Head(s), Ink(s) or Toner(s) from the printer. Doing so may damage the printer and invalidate any Canon Commercial Warranty.
• With the Print Head(s), Ink(s) or Toner(s) still installed in the printer, press the ON button to turn off the power and then unplug the power cord.
• Unplug all cables. Do not return any cables with your printer unless asked to do so.
  • For MEGATANK (G, GM & GX Series) models, please consult the online manual for your printer (available here) and search for “Repairing Your Printer” for additional transportation steps that must be carried out to ensure that transportation functions (such as Ink Valve Levers, carriage stoppers etc) have been actuated as applicable.
• Remove any paper from the printer.
• Retract or close any paper output, cassette, rear feed covers, document covers or document feed trays.
• Using a suitable adhesive tape secure all the covers on the printer, then place it into a plastic bag.
  • We recommend masking tape or similar. Do not use tape that will leave a residue (such as Brown Packing Tape, Sellotape, or Duct Tape).
• Pack the printer using the original box and packaging if you still have it, ensuring the printer is cushioned to prevent it from moving within the box.
• Alternatively, if the original box and packaging is no longer available, place the printer into a double wall (thick) box and cushion with bubble wrap until it is secure and not moving in the box.
• Place your ‘Order Summary’ in the box with the product.
• Secure the box with strong tape. Double tape the top and bottom of the package for extra support.
• After packing, DO NOT tilt the box containing the printer or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so may cause the ink to leak during transportation and cause further damage to the printer.
• To assist the shipping courier with the correct handling of your printer during transport, we also recommend that you mark the box as follows:
  • "THIS SIDE UP" to keep the printer with its bottom facing down.
  • Also mark with "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".

For more detailed instructions on preparing your inkjet printer for shipping please consult the online manual for your printer (available here) and search for “Repairing Your Printer” or “Transporting your printer”.

We recommend taking the following steps for Photo and Video products:

• Prior to packaging, please save any settings (if applicable), as your product may need to be reset to the default factory settings during repair.
• Remove accessories such as batteries, memory cards, battery chargers, cables (unless related to the product fault).
• Ensure that you place your body/lens cap onto your product and always package your photo/video bodies & lenses separately (i.e., not attached) to protect them during transport and note that we will not supply a new body/lens free of charge following completion of your repair/service.
• Pack the product(s) using the original box and packaging if you still have it, ensuring the product is cushioned to prevent it from moving within the box.
• Alternatively, if the original box and packaging is no longer available, place the product(s) into a double wall (thick) box and cushion with bubble wrap until it is secure and not moving in the box.
• Place your ‘Order Summary’ in the box with the product.
• Secure the box with strong tape. Double tape the top and bottom of the package for extra support.
• To assist the shipping courier with the correct handling of your product during transport, we also recommend that you mark the box as follows:
  • "THIS SIDE UP" to keep the product with its bottom facing down.
  • Also mark with "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".
