    Check 1: Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged in, then turn the machine on.
    While the Power lamp is flashing blue, the machine is initializing. Wait until the Power lamp stops flashing and remains lit blue.
    NOTE
    • When printing large data such as a photo or graphics, it may take longer to start printing. While the Power lamp is flashing blue, the computer is processing data and sending it to the machine. Wait until printing starts.

    Check 2: Check the status of ink tanks. Replace the ink tank if ink has run out.
    Checking the Ink Status
    You can check the ink status on the LCD or with ink lamps.

    Replacing Ink Tanks
    When the ink tanks run out of ink, follow the procedure below to replace them.

    Check 3: Open the Scanning Unit (Cover) and check to see if the ink lamps are flashing red.
    If there is still sufficient ink but its ink lamp is flashing red, an ink tank may not be installed in a right position. ->[ Replacing an Ink Tanks ]

    Check 4: Open the Scanning Unit (Cover) and make sure that the ink lamps light up red.
    If the ink lamp is not lit, press the mark on the ink tank until it clicks into place.

    Check 5: Make sure that the machine is connected to your computer properly.
    When the machine is connected to your computer with a USB cable, make sure that the USB cable is securely plugged into the machine and the computer, then check the following:
    • If you are using a relay device such as a USB hub, disconnect it, connect the machine directly to the computer, and try printing again. If printing starts normally, there is a problem with the relay device. Consult the reseller of the relay device for details.
    • There could also be a problem with the USB cable. Replace the USB cable and try printing again.
    When you use the machine over LAN, make sure that the machine is connected to the network with a LAN cable or is set up correctly. For details, refer to your setup manual.

    Check 6: Restart your computer if you are printing from the computer.
    If there are any unnecessary print jobs, delete them.

    Check 7: Make sure that the Inner Cover is closed.
    If the Inner Cover is opened, close the Inner Cover and press the OK button on the machine.

    Check 8: Make sure that your machine's name is selected in the Print dialog box.
    The machine will not print properly if you are using a driver for a different printer.
    In Windows, make sure that your machine's name is selected in the Print dialog box.
    On a Macintosh, make sure that your machine's name is selected in Printer in the Print dialog box.
    NOTE
    • To make the machine the one selected by default, select Set as Default Printer (Windows), Default Printer or Make Default (Macintosh).

    Check 9: Configure the printer port appropriately.(Windows)
    Make sure that the printer port is configured appropriately in the printer driver.
    1. Log on as a user account with administrator privilege.
    2. Click Control Panel, then Printer under Hardware and Sound.
    In Windows XP, click Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, then Printers and Faxes.
    In Windows 2000, click Control Panel then Printers.
    3. Right-click the Canon XXX Printer icon, then select Properties.
    4. Click the Ports tab to confirm the port settings.
    Make sure that a port named USBnnn (where "n" is a number) with Canon XXX Printer appearing in the Printer column is selected for Print to the following port(s).
    If the setting is incorrect, reinstall the MP Drivers or change the printer port to the correct one.

    Check 10: Either Media Type or Page Size setting in the printer driver is inappropriate.
    When using Fine Art Paper "Photo Rag" or non Canon genuine specialty paper, be sure to select the type of each media from Media Type and either Fine Art A4 or Fine Art Letter from Page Size or Paper size.
    Confirm the settings following the procedure below, and try printing again.
    1. Ensure that either Fine Art A4 or Fine Art Letter is selected in the application.
    If the page size you want to use is not displayed, open the File menu of the application and select Print. Then ensure that the name of your machine is selected.
    2. Ensure that the paper selected for Media Type in the Main tab (Windows) or the Print dialog box (Macintosh) in the printer driver matches the paper loaded in the machine.
    3. Ensure that the Page Size setting in the Page Setup tab (Windows) or the Paper size setting in the Page Setup dialog box (Macintosh) in the printer driver is the same as the size set in step 1.
