Error Code 6502 appears generally after changing a cartridge.
Solution 1:
- Unplug the printer.
- Remove the faulty Cartridge
- Plug in the printer and press and hold power button
- Keep it held down. Press Resume twice, and this should reset the fault.
Solution 2:
- The last cartridge installed may be faulty.
- Install a new cartridge
Solution 3:
- When error is indicated, turn power switch off so green light is extinguished.
- Hold down resume button and hold down power button so both are held down at same time
- When green light comes on, continue holding down power button and let resume button go, then press resume button twice.
- Let power button go.
- Press resume button four times, power button should be released before doing this.
- Wait until printer settles down, if power is off, turn on. If power will not come on, remove power cord from back of printer, then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in again and turn power on.
Solution 4 (thanks to Anniina for the tip !):
- Unplug the power cord.
- Remove all ink cartridges.
- Plug cord back in and turn the printer on.
- Replace all ink cartridges.
- Lift the bottom part of the door (open)
- When the cartridge carriage comes to the center, remove all cartridges
- turn off the power
- Turn on the power
- After the printer initialized, the cartridge carriage will come to the center again
- Replace the cartridges
- Close door
Solution 5:
- Sometimes a waste ink pad reset solves the problem

Two more solutions are added above.
Good luck !
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Remove all ink cartridges.
3. Plug cord back in & turn printer on.
4. Put all ink cartridges in.
That worked on mine; I hope it does on yours.
The printer head contact is dirty, try to clean it
The "ink level detector" on each ink cartridge has problem to contact, try to clean it
The "secrect cheat code" is offical for all Canon Pixma, it reset the printer "boot" process
After all if still non-working, try some old-ink cartridges and see what happens, if possible (i didn't tested yet but i thinks it works), try to replace the "ink detector" on each cartridge
CANON PRINTER AGAIN!!!!!!
It's shit!...It never works properly...Always malfunctions.
Get you a Brother, Lexmark or
Epson...they work and are cheaper too.

So.. if 4 times doesn't work try 6.

You will be OK
Of course thats no "normal" situation but it demonstrates that cartridge lights are detected, probably as a check for genuineness. So possible reasons for error 6502 may be broken cartridge lights, bad contacts at cartridge, obstacles at optical sensor and bad quality replica cartridges.
.worked fine then code came up
when the door is open, there is much light, close the door and make a dark environment for cartridge. then turn on printer
