If the Printer Makes a Strange Sound If the Printer Makes a Strange Sound
Cause Corrective Action
The printer
makes a sound
during opera-
tion. The following sounds do not indicate a problem with the printer.
• There is a sound of suction from the Platen
To prevent paper from rising, paper is held against the Platen by suction from Vacuum holes under it.
• There is a sound when a different size of paper is used and when the Carriage goes from side to side
When paper of a different size is used, a valve is automatically activated to switch the area for paper suction, which
may make a sound. This mechanism prevents suction from Vacuum holes where there is no paper.
In addition, ink is ejected in sync with the movement of the Carriage back and forth to ensure optimal ink flow. At this
time, the valve automatically switches the area for paper suction, which may make a sound.
• Roll paper makes a fluttering sound during printing
There may be a fluttering sound when large paper is advanced.
• If you suddenly hear the tone for cleaning operations
At regular intervals, for printer maintenance, cleaning operations will begin automatically, even if the printer is in
Sleep mode.
•
If you suddenly hear the tone for ink agitation
At regular intervals, to ensure optimal printing quality, the ink is agitated automatically, even if the printer is in Sleep
mode. Ink agitation takes about 30 seconds.
The ink is also agitated automatically under the following conditions. Note that other operations are not possible
while "Agitating" is displayed on the control panel.
•
After the printer is turned on. (The time for agitation varies depending on how long the printer was off—between
about 30 seconds and two minutes.)
•
After data transmission. (After about a minute and a half, printing operations begin. However, printing may start
later after data reception, depending on the size of print data.)
•
After ink tank replacement. (Ink agitation takes about three and a half minutes.)
In other cases, contact your Canon dealer.

was used to replace the old one. Remove the new Maintenance Cartridge you have just installed and
insert it again firmly.
The printer consumes a lot of ink The printer consumes a lot of ink
Cause Corrective Action
Many full-page color images are
printed. In print jobs such as photos, images are filled with color. This consumes a lot of ink. This does not
indicate a problem with the printer.
