#CANON IMAGE GARDEN UPDATE FREE#
Amazon offered a free replacement, but it gradually developed this ghost-image problem. We bought the first one on Amazon, and the shipping damaged the printer so badly that the printhead won't even move. Today, we are going to use this Canon MG3620 as an example. The misalignment is common when we purchase the printer over the Internet, and it was shipped by a company that starts with the letter U and end with the letter S. Therefore, we have eliminated the hypothesis. In this case, the printhead is moving smoothly, and there are no conspicuous noises. Then, we will print some documents and observe the printhead movement. The printer will be fooled and think the door is closed. We will examine this by opening the printer cover and inserting a piece of paper in the printer's door trigger. First, the cartridge movement could be obstructed, and thus, the printhead cannot move freely. There are two main causes for this problem. We will print a straight line, and we will find the print is zig-zagged or shifted. However, some of the text will have a ghost image and make the result undesirable. A printer with a double-image problem will print crisply and clearly. The double-image problem is different than printing with stripes, which is a clogging issue. Today we are going to fix this problem with a printer that will print double images or lines. In this video, we showed an alternative method to fix this problem. However, this solution will not work if the alignment page is in zig-zag fashion too. Furthermore, sometimes it also prints ghost or double images and makes the text unreadable.Ĭanon's website will indicate it is a maintenance issue and we should use the printer's built-in function to print an alignment page and scan it. We may find a Canon prints horizontal text in a sort of wavy zig-zag formation.
