Printers have become a very important part of our lives today. Canon is one of the best brands available in the market today for its good quality printers. But as a technical device, it does face some technical errors. So, in this blog, we will discuss having performed a self-test to check if the printer is ok or not. You can also contact Canon Printer Customer Support for the same.
Taking a Self-Test
Taking a self-test on your printer will give you a brief idea if your printer is doing well. Once you take self-test then the printer will print a page that gives you information like the memory of the printer left, printer model, status log information that can be used for troubleshooting in case of any errors, setting of the printer including the software details that the printer is using. It also helps in locating the configuration file of the printer.
Manual method to test your printer –
• First, you need to load a new paper on the input tray. Now hold on to the resume/cancel button then you will notice that the lights are blinking
• Then release the button
• When the power button blinks twice then it will print the nozzle test sheet
Correct nozzle pattern –
All the lines that are printed there should be no missing lines also the lines should be aligned systematically. There should be no white streaks. If the nozzle pattern is not correct then you will see these errors. So, we will discuss the nozzle pattern here. Also if you want more details about the same please contact the Canon Printer Customer Support.
Incorrect nozzle pattern is seen when the ink is not ejected and some of the black patterns are missing.
There might be a white steak also which says there is a problem.
• Now read the nozzle check pattern from the test report
• If the output is normal and shows no disturbance then the printhead is functioning well. But if you see the pattern is not right then you will have to clean the printhead.
• You can clean the printhead with alcohol swab very carefully and remove all the debris from the printhead nozzle
• Once you clean the printhead nozzle take a print out of the same
• While you take the print if you still see the disturbance in the printing then you will have to do a deeper cleaning of the printhead nozzle. For which you can contact Canon Printer Customer Support
• After you talk to the team and perform deep cleaning you can again take print of the nozzle printhead
• This time the clogged ink in the nozzle printhead would have gone so the problem is sorted
Diagnosing the problem-
Printer self-test is done when you face issues with the printer. Like you see black marks, the printer gets smudged or it gives blurry print outs. But before you run the self-test there are some points you have to keep in mind and check if the same can resolve the error. Like checking if the USB cable is properly connected or not. To check if the printer is connected to the mains or not and also to check if the printer is dirty like any bits of paper inside the printer. And also always use your printer every day to avoid the drying up of ink. Keeping some of the points in mind you can always prevent your printer from such kind of errors.
