1. Load the rear tray on your Canon PIXMA iP3500 printer with a sheet of unused white letter or A4 paper, then turn it on. Make certain that the front tray and extension are open.
2. Push and hold the 'Resume/Cancel' button until the 'Power' light flashes once to start the print head cleaning. If the button doesn't work, or you want to start the process from your computer, click 'Start,' 'Devices and Printers,' right-click the Canon iP3500 option in the window that opens, then click 'Printer Properties.' In the properties window, select 'Maintenance,' 'Cleaning,' an ink group to clean -- All Colors, Black or Color -- then click the 'Execute' button.
3. Wait approximately 50 seconds for your iP3500 to clean the print head and the 'Power' light to stop flashing green.
4. Move the paper thickness lever to the left, then press the 'Resume/Cancel' key until the 'Power' light flashes twice to print out a nozzle check pattern page.
5. Repeat the basic cleaning process again if the page has voids or streaks. If the issue persists after the second basic cleaning, deep clean the print head.
Deep Cleaning
1. Turn on your Canon iP3500 printer, open the front tray and extension, if not already open, and load the printer with a sheet of unused, white letter or A4 paper.
2. Click 'Start' and 'Devices and Printers' on your computer. Right-click the Canon iP3500 option, then click 'Printer Properties.'
3. Select 'Maintenance,' 'Deep Cleaning' and ink cartridge(s) to clean -- All Colors, Black or Color. Click 'Execute,' 'OK,' then wait approximately 100 seconds for your iP3500 to deep clean the print head.
4. Shift the paper thickness lever left, then press the 'Resume/Cancel' key until the 'Power' light flashes twice to print a nozzle check pattern page.
5. Turn off your Canon iP3500 and wait at least 24 hours if the pattern page still has voids or streaks. After this time, turn the printer back on and repeat the deep cleaning process
