Use the Canon software to do a "nozzle check".
The print-head has multiple "jets" that spray ink onto consecutive "rows" across the width of the paper. If some of the jets are clogged, then you get the "every other line is lighter" effect, and the printout from the "nozzle check" will show a pattern of "stripes".
cannot detect alignment page- two possibilities-
1: hen the printer prints the alignment you can physically see the lines and colour shades being printed onto the sheet- this should then be scanned with the electronic eye built onto the carriage assembly- usually one automatic operation- if you can see a good clear image printed ( blocks/lines.boxes) and the printer cannot see the image it stands to reason the electronic eve ( spectrophotometer) is not reading the image correctly or at all, if however there are 'missing' areas of the calibration print then the problem lies with the printing side and I would recommend cleaning/ replacing the printheads as required
While the line is showing up on the output pages. Stop printing and put paper in the manual feed tray (tray 1). Start printing again. As a page gets pulled into the printer about 1/2 way open the top cover. Pull out the toner and look at the page inside the printer. If it doesn't have the grey/black line, get the fuser replaced. It is defective.
Ink tends to overflow at the bottom guide rollers and the roller gets coverd in ink and causes the black line!The best will be to take it to a dealer and have it cleaned!Good Luck!
Print cartridge
When the print cartridge contacts are dirty and the printer cannot detect/communicate with print cartridge.
Clean the contact points on the cartridges with a dry, lint-free cloth.
1. Open the top cover of the printer.
2. Remove the print cartridges.
3. Clean the copper-colored contact points on the cartridges with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.
5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
6. Close the top cover.
7. Try printing again.
If you still cant communicate try with new cartridge .
I had bought a re-inked black cartridge from Staples; although my computer said that the cartridge was full, it wasn't working; I removed and put in a regula 16 black from Staples brand and now everything is fine. Thank you
I just bought a PIXMA iP3500. The 1st 2 photos I printed had veritcal White lines. I did a Nozzle Check and Alligned the Print head after the 1st photo printed. The 2nd still had the lines. Then I changed brands of Glossy Photo Paper and tried a 3rd time. This time I noticed that it printed much slower and it turned out just fine. Information says that you should have the settings at "high" not "standard". Double check that this hasn't inadvertently changed back to Standard. Gator
