If the Printer Makes a Strange Sound
Cause Corrective Action
The printer
makes a
sound during
operation.
The following sounds do not indicate a problem with the printer.
There is a sound of vacuum from the Platen
To
prevent paper from rising, paper is held against the Platen by suction from Vacuum holes under
it.
There is a sound when a different size of paper is used and when the Carriage goes from side to side
This may happen especially when using B0 or 44-inch paper.
When paper of a different size is used, a valve is automatically activated to switch the area for pa-
per suction, which may make a sound. This mechanism prevents vacuum from Vacuum holes
where there is no paper.
In addition, ink is ejected in sync with the movement of the Carriage back and forth to ensure opti-
mal ink flow. At this time, the valve automatically switches the area for paper suction, which may
make a sound.
Roll paper makes a fluttering sound during printing
There may be a fluttering sound when large paper is advanced.
You suddenly hear the tone for cleaning operations
At regular intervals, for printer maintenance, cleaning operations will begin automatically, even if
the printer is in Sleep mode.
You suddenly hear the tone for ink agitation
At regular intervals, to ensure optimal printing quality, the ink is agitated automatically, even if the
printer is in Sleep mode. Ink agitation takes about a minute and a half.
The ink is also agitated automatically under the following conditions. Note that other operations are
not possible while "Agitating" is displayed on the control panel.
After the printer is turned on. (The time for agitation varies depending on how long the printer
has been turned off—between about a minute and a half to twenty minutes. During agitation,
you can print or do other operations after the printer goes Online.)
After data transmission. (After about a minute and a half, the printer goes Online, and printing
operations begin. However, printing may start later after data reception, depending on the size of
print data.)
After ink tank replacement. (Ink agitation takes about three and a half minutes. During agitation,
you can print or do other operations after the printer goes Online.)
In other cases, contact your Canon dealer.
