What The Code Means
Error 2F24 means one of two things. If it was simply an error, it means the cutter failed to reach the home position in time during a cutting operation. If you have the hardware error 2F24, it means no sensor has been detected during a cutter operation involving sensor detection.
How To Fix It
Before trying anything, you will want to clear any paper jam that may be in the print area. This can be done by lifting to top cover normally and removing any media that did not cut properly. We recommend advancing the media and cutting with a pair of scissors.
Once you have removed the jam from the failed to cut, press the power button until the printer turns off. Wait a few moments, and power back on.

If The Error Does Not Clear
The service manual does not have remedial action for this particular error code. If your printer fails to correct the code after a power cycle, this could be an expensive problem. Normal, working parts may have to be replaced to try to accurately diagnose the part that is failing.
It is our professional recommendation to contact a Canon Authorized Service Technician. If Canon no longer supports your printer model, an independent service company would be your next option. We discourage anyone from making any repairs without proper training and knowledge. Ignoring our recommendation could result in severe injury or death.
