1. Check the Power Cord Connector to make sure it is secure on the printer if the machine does not start. Restart the computer that is attached to the printer to clear out leftover print jobs. Verify that the 'Power' lamp light is green, indicating that the printer is ready for operation.
2. Examine the ink levels if the printer sounds and looks like its moving, but does not produce any ink on paper. Open the top cover to see if the ink lights blink or flash, and replace the ink cartridge if necessary. Perform the 'Nozzle Pattern Check' test to look for uneven ink colors on the printout. Remedy the problem by running the 'Print Head Deep Cleaning' utility.
3. Use better quality paper, such as photo paper, if the printer is repeatedly jamming or mis-feeding. Make sure the paper is loaded neatly and properly in the tray. Avoid overfilling and stuffing the paper in the tray.
4. Press the 'Resume/Cancel' button to continue printing if the printer's alarm lamp flashes orange, eight times. This warning is about the built-in ink absorber that is used during print head cleanings. It is a vital part of the printer's maintenance and can become full over time. Contact Canon support as soon as possible for service. The website address is listed in the Resources section below.
5. Replace the ink tank with brand-name, high-quality ink if the alarm lamp flashes 14 times. This error means that a potentially generic, off-brand ink tank has been placed in the printer for use, but the machine cannot use the product. Though third-party ink tank refill systems are available, these products can damage the printer if not used properly.
