According to fixit.com and You Tube: E6 or E4 is cartridges error that can be cleared by pressing the "stop\reset" button for 5-7 sec, then release.
The link provided is the video showing how to do this on You Tube.

Please note: The Canon printer shown on You Tube may not be the exact model as yours. However,clearing the codes are done the same way.
Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.
