Based on my online research, you can fix the Error 5100 of your Canon printer by following the solutions provided below.

1) Clear debris from carriage head

2) Lubricate the purge cap

3) Paper Jammed

4) Set the ink cartridges properly

5) Clean the Timing film

How to reset Canon Error Code 5100

Turn off the printer
Unplug the printer power cable
Press and hold the power button, and restore the power (a strip with a switch makes this simpler*). Depending on your firmware, you may have to also press and hold the resume button, simultaneously. You may get a one buzz sound.
While continuing to press the power button press the resume button twice, in short bursts.
Release the power button.
Again, depending on the firmware, you may have to press the resume button three more times, and then the power button once. If you got a single buzz before, you should get one again, indicating you have exited programming the firmware. The printer will then switch off.
