Canon photocopier: How to troubleshoot common problems

Is your Canon photocopier giving you trouble. Find out how you can troubleshoot the most basic and common problems now. There is no need to contact support first if it is a simple fix.

The basic checks

Warning lights Find out if the printer is okay. The first thing you can do is make sure there is no warning light. If there is any warning on the printer such as a cartridge or toner problem, replace and fix it. If there is a paper jam, just go ahead and pull the paper out and fix the problem. Print a test copy Then, the next thing you want to do is to print a test copy. Is the printer itself functioning properly? If the test is successful, you will get a piece of paper with a test paper and ink, and you will also ensure that the printer itself has a problem. Check the connectors If the printer did not power on at all, you want to make sure the connectors are connected properly. The next thing you want to do is make sure that the charger is not broken. If you have a spare, try to plug in your spare. If not, you will have to get a replacement one as this could be a charger problem. If you have something called a voltmeter, you can check the flow on it as well.

Computer print problem

Sometimes, it is not the printer colour copiers which is the problem. Your copier machine could be fine, but the computer connection may be having trouble. If you do it wirelessly, you want to make sure you connect it with a wire and see if it is the wiring problem or the router problem. If it is a router problem, reset the router and try again. You also want to see if the canon copier is showing on the computer by checking printer properties. Here, you will be able to find out whether your computer even recognises the printer. If not, re-connect it or try installing it again. Rebooting is another option. Final word These should take care of your basic computer problems. However, if the problem persists, you may want to check Google for support or even call Canon support.
