How Do You Troubleshoot A Canon Inkjet Printer?
Many things can go wrong with your Canon inkjet printer, but learning to troubleshoot and pinpoint the problem can help you easily get back on track. Many common problems are easily solved without assistance from technical support. Follow these steps to troubleshoot a Canon inkjet printer. Determine if your printer is turned on. This may seem obvious, but it is a frequent mistake. Check the status on the LCD screen (it should read “Ready”) and make sure the power lamp is green and not flashing. Check for error messages. Look for messages or message indicators on both the printer’s LCD screen and on your desktop. Indicators may include flashing lights or a solid red light instead of a green one. Refer to your manual to check the meaning of these. Check the paper tray to see if it is empty. If you’re not sure where the paper tray is, check the manual or look carefully on the body of the printer for a symbol or icon. Pull gently on some obvious places, but be careful not to break anything
