Troubleshooting

Printed Surface is Scratched

■ Ensure you are using suitable paper.

• The paper weight must be less than 105 g/m (28 lb).

If you use non-Canon brand paper heavier than 105 g/m (28 lb), the print head may

scratch the printed surface.

Clean the print head ﬁrst and print with the correct paper.

• The paper must not be curled.

This problem can be resolved by simply turning the paper over.

■ Before starting Borderless Printing, check the paper that you are using.

With Borderless Printing, the print quality may decrease or smudging may occur at the

top and bottom edges of the paper.

Use Photo Paper Pro, Photo Paper Plus Glossy, Matte Photo Paper or Glossy Photo

Paper. If smudging still occurs, set the Paper Thickness Lever to the right and try printing

again.

■ When printing on thick paper, set the paper thickness lever to the "

" mark.

This widens a gap between the print head and the paper. If the paper is scratched even

when printing on plain paper, also try this.

If you print a document without using the computer, error 102 or 103 will be displayed on the

operation panel. However, you can still start printing by pressing the Print button again.

Print Quality is Poor or Contains Errors

153

Troubleshooting

■ Reduce the Intensity setting in the printer driver and try printing again.

When printing an image with high intensity especially on plain paper, the paper may

absorb too much ink and become wavy. This may cause the printed surface to become

scratched.

Printer Does Not Start or Stops During Print Jobs

158

Troubleshooting

Printing Does Not Start

■ Ensure the printer is turned on.

If the POWER lamp is off, press the POWER button.

If the POWER lamp is ﬂashing green, the printer is initialising. Wait until the POWER

lamp stops ﬂashing.

Note

➤ When printing a large amount of data such as a photo or graphics, it takes

longer than usual to begin printing. While the POWER lamp is flashing, the

computer processes the data and sends it to the printer. Simply wait until

the processing is completed.

■ Ensure the printer is securely connected to the computer.

Note

➤ If you are using a switch box or other device, remove and reconnect the

printer directly to the computer. Try printing again.

If printing is now successful, there may be a problem with the device.

Also there could be a problem with the cable(s). Replace the cable(s) and

try printing again.

In Macintosh, ensure that S530D is selected in the Chooser.

Note

➤ In Windows, you can set the Canon S530D as the default printer.

■ Ensure the printer port is set correctly.

Printer Does Not Start or Stops During Print Jobs

160

Troubleshooting

Printing Stops Before It is Completed

■ Check the status of the POWER lamp.

When the POWER lamp is ﬂashing green, the printer is processing data. Printing a large

amount of data such as a photo or graphics takes time for the computer to process the

data, during which the printer may appear to not be functioning.

In addition, when continuously printing material that uses a large amount of black ink on

plain paper, the printer will sometimes pause. In either case, simply wait until the

processing is completed.

■ Halt the print job and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes to cool the print

head down.

The print head can overheat when continuously printing for long time.To protect the print

head, the printer will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before resuming.

In this event, interrupt the print job at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least

15 minutes.

Furthermore, when continuously printing graphics or photos with intense colours,

printing may stop to protect the print head. In this case, printing will not resume. Turn the

printer off and wait for at least 15 minutes.

Caution

➤ Inside the printer, the area around the print head can become extremely

hot. Do not touch the print head or nearby components.

Troubleshooting

Printer Moves But Does Not Print

■ Check the ink tanks. If empty, replace them.

■ Ensure that the ink tanks snap into place when you install them.

■ If there is plenty of ink but the printer does not print, clean the print head.

After cleaning the print head, print the nozzle check pattern to check that ink is being

output normally.

➡

Properly " to confirm that you are using the correct paper and are loading it

➡

If the problem is not resolved by cleaning the print head several times, the print head may

be worn out. Contact a Canon service facility.

■ Check the protective tape has been removed from the print head.

Ensure that you align the print head after removing the tape and reinstalling the print

head.

For details on print head alignment, refer to "Straight Lines are Misaligned ".

Troubleshooting

Print Head Holder Does Not Move to the Centre

■ Ensure the printer is turned on.

The print head holder will not move unless the power is on. If the POWER lamp is off,

close the front cover and turn the power on.

If the POWER lamp is ﬂashing green, the printer is initialising.

When the POWER lamp stops ﬂashing, open the front cover again.

■ If the front cover has been left open for a while, close and reopen it.

If the front cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the print head holder moves to the

right to prevent the print head from drying out. Close and reopen the front cover to return

the holder to the centre.

➡

■ Ensure that the left edge of the paper just touches the paper guide.

■ When printing envelopes, refer to "Envelopes " in "Printing Media ," and prepare

the envelopes before printing.

Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in the printer in portrait orientation. If

the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they may not feed properly.

■ When using transparencies, load one sheet of plain paper in the printer ﬁrst, and

then place the transparencies on top of it.

The last transparency may not feed properly unless there is a sheet of plain paper

beneath it.

Paper Does Not Feed Properly or Paper Jams

Troubleshooting

Paper Jams

Remove the paper according to the following procedure.

Slowly pull the paper out, either from the sheet feeder or from the paper

output slot, whichever is easier.

If the paper tears and a piece remains inside the printer, open the front

cover and remove it.

If you cannot pull the paper out, press the POWER button twice to eject the

paper automatically.

After removing all paper, close the front cover.

Reload the paper into the printer and press the RESUME/CANCEL button.
