20 Most Recent Canon PIXMA MP760 All-In-One InkJet Printer - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Hi there
There no easy way the printers are been made this way so you take them to the shop, but if you are handy with your hands and know what you are doing then you will need to take all apart and take out the ink pads inside the printer and clean them up make sure they nice dry when put back in, then you are going to need a program that you can find on the internet it will be called waste reset tools, or your printer will not work even after you done the clean out.

I am not sure what canon you have so I cant tell you the tools you need for yours, i have got canon MP-Tools on my website if this is the one you need.
with this you can reset the waste ink tank before you do the clean out but remember in time you will need to clean out or it going to be a big mess of ink coming out your printer.

Hi


Some times it needs a good clean up but this is up to you if you want to do this I put down here. But after you don this prime the printer so it gets the inks back in the heads, it may take a little time for the inks to work.

Ok it got to be the heads blockage
There is fluid cleaner for this but I can never find any in the shops the only ones I seen is when they sell them in Tesco but they come in with the ink refill bottles so I just use worm water by it self on a cloth and dabbing on the heads to clean them, it will not harm the heads but not to much water.

Some heads are on the inks them self but some have them inside the printer so I not know your printer so if the heads are inside you need to get them out you may find that some heads will just clip out put some need to be unscrewed so you got to know how they come out so be careful and not push to hard on them, if the heads are on the ink then it is a easy job to clean them,
It worth a try it worked for me more than ones.

Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.

1. Clean your print head using denatured alcohol solvent which can be purchased from most hardware stores. If unavailable, use 91% Alcohol (isopropyl alcohol (first aid antiseptic) which is available for less than a dollar at most Walmart pharmacy departments.

*Warning: You may want to use a pair of latex exam gloves as this is a messy process and can stain your fingers.
Time necessary 45-50 minutes
Supplies needed:
Isopropyl Alcohol or denatured alcohol
paper towels
latex gloves
sink, bowls and or basin
can of compressed air
very small screw driver
tablespoon or baby bulb type syringe
warm water

PROCEDURE:
1. Lift print head from printer. It pulls out easily because it is held in with the same down lever that holds the cartridge in place.
2. Put two layers of paper towels in the bottom of a dish to protect sensitive sprayer heads.
3. Put enough solvent in dish to cover the screens on which the cartridges sit when in use.
4. Take the two small screws out that hold the white ceramic piece
5. Gently, pry the ceramic piece back and away , to reveal the underside (No need to pull away the glued points on the sides.)
6. Gently, move head up and down to slosh solvent around it the best as you can. Use a table spoon or syringe to pour solvent over all orifices in the print head, turning it upside down and then back a few times.
7. Use canned air with a plastic straw to blow into and through all orifices, alternately sloshing/swishing and pouring solvent over head (be careful not to touch any of the holes, screens, or sprayer heads with anything)
8. Empty dirty solvent from bowl and replace with paper towels and clean solvent. Soak for approx 10 minutes. Rinse again with clean solvent poured directly on all parts, letting solvent overrun and fall into dish or basin.
9. Gently shake the solvent off the head, take it outside and spray with compressed air into all orifices to clear out and help evaporate any remaining solvent. Let sit on a clean paper towel for approx 20 minutes. (There may be a little ink bleeding out of the head, but once it dries completely it does not present any problems.
10. Reinstall head, cartridges and it will print like a new printer.

SUGGESTION: For many years of problem free printing, keep a double set of ink cartridges, one set full at all times. Whenever a cartridge runs out of ink, replace it IMMEDIATELY, with a new one or a refilled one. This gives the print head no chance to dry out and create clogged heads. Routine maintenance of cleaning the heads every 24 months does wonders for keeping your printer in new condition

There may be settling in the nozzles of the cartridges that are not allowing the ink to flow out properly.

The first tip on this site should clear out the nozzles. Using warm water seems to flush the nozzles out better.

Routine maintenance and keeping full ink tanks will prevent this problem, however if you have the problem you can resolve it by doing the following:

Canon Help Line couldnt fix the problem. I tried installing on another Dell 3000 with the same result - incomplete installation. This looked like a Dell problem - so I went to Dell web site and downloaded about 10 System updates, including a Flash Bios chip.
After re-booting I turned off all Anti-Virus and Firewall, and guess what? It loaded and installed like a dream.
Printer now working fine!

Are you using OEM cartridges or aftermarket/reloaded cartridges. Your problem sounds like the nozzles are clogged and need to be deep cleaned. To perform this you need to put in new OEM cartridges and run the deep cleaning (at least 3x) and the alignment utility. This should clear the clogged nozzles.
Aftermarket/refilled cartridges do not always meet the manufacturer's specifications for quality. If you want to try a good source for aftermarket cartridges, try cartridges from LDproducts.com for your printer. I've never had a problem with their aftermarket cartridges.
Please rate this solution. Thanks.

Usually this is because the file is just a tiny bit too long or they have a page break at the end...

AS A test, when you get the printer screen before telling it to print, select to print pages from this to that number and bump the last page down one number and see if it deletes that unneeded page...

I know the problem and it is annoying to waste a sheet.

Buy another one

Perform a deep cleaning on the printhead:

1) power on the printer

2) access the menu button

3) scroll down to printhead cleaning

4) deep clean the printhead 3x

5) try printing again on Msword

this is a common problem on most inkjet printers, if there left for periods of inactivity the ink dries in the printer head and blocks up the little nozzles that put the ink on the paper.

there should be an option to run some cleaning routines which should help restore the print quality back to what you expect, there is a Deep Clean option as well on some cannons i belive this should not be run more than once within 10 - 15 minutes as it can cause damage to the print head.

if your still getting problems with the print quality most cartridge companys sell cleaning solutions designed to clean out blocked printer heads. this should sort it.

the most drastic solution would be to replace the head which is normally fairly easy to get online and quite cheap.

hope this helps.

This model has 5 places where you might encounter jammed paper. Since you said you cannot see it, I suspect that it may be one of the following:

1) Inside from the front - (This is a similar to accessing the print cartridges). Raise the scanning unit until it stops (cartridges move to the center). Open the two inner covers. Gently clear the jam. Try not to touch the printer components. Close both inner covers, lower the scanning unit. Press <OK>

2) Inside transport unit - Open the rear cover. Remove the jammed paper or any bits that you may find. Close the rear cover. Press <OK>

My Mp760 wont turn on. I have checked all the cables

Hi I think the noise you are hearing is the head or carriage that moves up and down a silver bar trying to unsuccessfully move, turn the power off and see if you can manually move the carriage to the center, don't force it or pull it via cables. If you can move it check either side for paper smashed up against printer wall. Check for any obstruction in the carriage area, ensure all cartridges are secure.

Sometimes even after all this is checked and cleared the problem still exists, this is due to what is called an encoder strip getting stained or dirty. A encoder strip tells the printer where it is along the carriage and if this thin plastic strip that runs parr-ell to the shiny silver carriage bar, gets ink on it the printer cant read the spaces between the tiny lines that are printed on it, make sure this encoder strip (can be a wheel on some models) is spotless, I use metho and rag very gently on it, sometimes the ink stains the plastic beyond cleaning and needs to be replaced, mind you the cost of repairing any ink jet thes days is uneconomical.

hope this helps with your issue.

Cheers
