Following are the explanation and resolution as provided by Canon:

A service error has occurred.

Resolution:

Turn off the printer.

Disconnect the power cable.

Open the printer cover.

Check for any orange protective tape or white polystyrene and remove if necessary.

Check that there are no foreign objects in the printer (such as a paper clip) and remove if necessary.

Close the cover.

Reconnect and turn on.
