Printing Problems
The Alarm light comes on and the unit beeps while printing.
The unit may have a paper jam.
❑ Clear the paper jam (see page 7-3).
❑ If the unit has no paper jam, unplug it, wait five seconds, then plug it in again.
If the problem is fixed, the Alarm light will turn off, the BJ cartridge will move

return to standby mode. If the Alarm light remains lit, call the Canon
Customer Care Center (see page 1-9).
