How do i run a test page? - Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo InkJet Printer

Guess you can get it form manual:


Canon PIXMA MG5320 Manual


At tis page you can get severa lmanuals for your printer.

1. Go to menu set as default.
2. Do color calibration.
3. Print PQ test pages, observe the colors, chk
4. Print demo page. chk
5. Print from different file/system..

You should first run a test page. Open your printer. Go to properties and maintenance. Try to run a test page to see if it might be that the ink cartridges are clogged. If the test page does not print correctly, the first thing I would try to do is run the cartridge cleaner. It might take several attempts but it should get somewhat better each time. Let me know if you need more direction.

click on start, then printers right click on the printer icon and select printer properties go to the bottom of the page and select print test page

• Problems with the Y-axis. It could be the belt,motor or the drum.

7,008.4x: PM_FAULT_HEADTILT_NOT_ ENGAGED

• The printhead tilt is not engaged, so it didn't tilt back properly or the printhead is stuck in the tilted position by the tilt lock arms. The process motor gear train getting out of sync can also cause this error.
  

1. Try rebooting the printer.
2. Check for an obstruction or damage in the process gearbox.
3. Ensure the gears are correctly aligned and homed. If faulty replace the process gearbox
assembly.
4. Run the Tilt Axis Drive test to test the headtilt.
5. Run the Head Maintenance Wiper Clutch test. If the test fails, replace the wiper drive clutch.
6. Run the Wiper Axis Drive test.
7. Replace the exit assembly.

7,010.4x: PM_FAULT_HEADTILT_HOME_ERROR

• The printhead is stuck in the tilt position by the tilt arms. The process motor gearbox being out of sync can also cause this error.
  

1. Reboot the printer.
2. Verify the lock arms rotate correctly.
3. Check for spilled ink around the printhead.
4. Check the process motor gears for damage. Ensure the process gears are correctly aligned and homed.
5. Verify the process gear box, process shaft, and drive module shaft are at home position.
6. Verify the headtilt gear will engage, see the home positioning procedure on page. You can manually engage the headtilt gear.
7. Run the Tilt Axis Drive test.
8. Run the Process Motor test.
9. Run the Head Maintenance Clutch test, if the test fails replace the clutch.
10.Run Wiper Drive test. If this fails inspect the wiper drive system.

If you are using Windows XP

1. Click start then run then type in cmd then click ok.
2. Type in NET STOP SPOOLER

After that in the lower right corner of your screen you should see a printer icon. Delete the queueu

If that still does not work Unplug the power from the printer then wait for 5 mins then restart your computer and turn it back on.

If the printer was reset recently then you will not et the entire or exact page count till day, but you can still run a Print self test report and check for the information:
To Run:

1. On the front panel of the product, press Menu (or Setup) .
2. Press the Right Arrow until Print Reports displays, and then press Enter, Start, or OK .
3. Press the Right Arrow until Self-Test Report displays, and then press Enter, Start, or OK .

It will print a self test page and you will find the page count in thie page

Good Luck

Try the following below if it continues to print in red half way through then either your ink carts have expired or something is wrong with them if you are using coral draw to print images there is know problems with that I have listed the solution to that as well. please tell the results of the test page as well please. and also I have included a few other tests please run through these. The sample page can be used as a quick check of the image quality from the black and color print cartridges. Unlike most printing, this page prints from the bottom of the page to the top for user viewing during printing.

1. Turn the printer off and then turn it on again by pressing the POWER button.
2. Press and hold down the RESUME button and release it when the Power light starts to blink.

The sample page can also be printed from the Toolbox (provided the Toolbox is installed) to verify that the printer is connected to the computer properly and that the printer and printer software are working properly.

1. Double-click the Toolbox icon on the Desktop or run it from the HP Deskjet 1220C Printer program group.
2. Select the Printer Services tab and click Print a Test Page

--------------------------------------------------------------
Printing the diagnostic page The information displayed on the diagnostic page includes the printer model, serial number, service ID (born-on date), firmware revision, total page count and last error code (see Figure 2). If an error code (hex) number is displayed, it represents the last error that occurred regardless of whether the problem that caused the error has been fixed and the printer is presently operational. To print a diagnostic page see the following:

1. Turn the power on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the RESUME button four times.
4. Release the POWER button.

Running the pen recovery diagnostic test If printouts have incomplete text or graphics that are not corrected by cleaning the print cartridges, use the pen recovery diagnostic test. The pen recovery diagnostic test is a three-level cleaning procedure that attempts to clear blocked print cartridge nozzles. The tests can be run either from the Toolbox under Printer Services or by pressing the button sequences below. The Level 1 print cartridge cleaning is a light cleaning mode. Use this level first to clear blocked nozzles.

1. Turn the power on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the CANCEL button twice.
4. Release the POWER button.

After running the Level 1 print cartridge cleaning routine, run the nozzle pattern test explained in the "Printing the nozzle pattern test" section below to verify that the cartridge has recovered. If no irregular gaps are present on the printout of the nozzle pattern test, the print cartridge has recovered. If there are irregular gaps in the printout, run the Level 2 pen recovery. The Level 2 cleaning is an intermediate cleaning mode to be used if the Level 1 mode does not recover the nozzles.

1. Turn the power on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the CANCEL button twice and the RESUME button once.
4. Release the POWER button.

After running the Level 2 print cartridge cleaning routine, run the nozzle pattern test explained in the "Printing the nozzle pattern test" section below to verify that the cartridge has recovered. If no irregular gaps are present on the printout of the nozzle pattern test, the print cartridge has recovered. If there are irregular gaps in the printout, run the Level 3 pen recovery. The Level 3 cleaning is the most intensive cleaning mode that takes about two minutes to complete. Use this level as a last resort in recovering clogged nozzles. This routine uses a considerable amount of ink.

1. Turn the power on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the CANCEL button twice and the RESUME button twice.
4. Release the POWER button.

After running the Level 3 print cartridge cleaning routine, run the nozzle pattern test explained in the "Printing the nozzle pattern test" section below to verify that the cartridge has recovered. If no irregular gaps are present on the printout of the nozzle pattern test, the print cartridge has recovered. If irregular gaps still appear in the printout, replace the cartridge. NOTE: Do not use the pen recovery tests unnecessarily or the life of the print cartridge will be shortened. Printing the nozzle pattern test This test prints a pattern to determine which nozzles, if any, are clogged or not firing and can be used to verify a successful cleaning routine (see Figure 3). Look for irregular spaces or gaps in the test pattern; these indicate faulty nozzles.

1. Turn the power on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the CANCEL button eight times and the RESUME button four times.
4. Release the POWER button.

Printing the calibration page This test provides calibration of the print cartridges. Calibration includes print cartridge alignment and optimizing the turn-on energy for the installed color print cartridge.

1. Turn the power on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the RESUME button three times.
4. Release the POWER button.

Eight green checks, one on each line of the printout, signify that the calibration was successful. ----------------------------------------------------- Printing the infinite H test This test prints continuous pages of the letter H and is useful for troubleshooting paper feed problems or other intermittent problems that are difficult to replicate.

1. Turn the printer on.
2. Press and hold down the POWER button.
3. While holding down the POWER button, press the RESUME button eight times.
4. Release the POWER button
5. Press and release the POWER button to terminate the test.

If the printer control panel is blank when you turn on the printer, check the following items.
1. Make sure that the printer is plugged into an active electrical outlet that delivers the correct
voltage.
2. Make sure that the on/off switch is in the on position.
3. Make sure that the fan runs briefly, which indicates that the power supply is operational.
4. Make sure that the control panel display wire-harness is connected.
The control-panel wire-harness connector can easily be disconnected when you install the top
cover. If the control panel does not work after the top cover is installed, verify that the wire-harness
connector is fully seated into its DC controller PCA connector.
5. Make sure that the firmware DIMM and the formatter are seated and operating properly.
6. Remove any HP Jetdirect or other EIO cards, and then try to turn the printer on again.
If the printer control-panel display is blank, but the main cooling fan runs briefly after the printer
power is turned on, try printing an engine test page to determine whether the problem is with the
control-panel display, formatter, or other printer components.
Engine test page
To verify that the printer engine (all printer components except the formatter, formatter DIMMs,
EIO products, and the stacker or stapler/stacker) is functioning, print an engine test page. Use a
small, non-metallic, pointed object to depress the test-page switch, which is located on the right
side of the printer
The test page should have a series of vertical lines. The test page will print from the last tray you
printed from. However, if the printer has been turned off and then back on since the most recent
print job, the page will print from tray 2. The printer will continuously print test pages as long as
the test-page switch is depressed. The printer will not print a test page if it is in PowerSave
mode.
A damaged formatter might interfere with the engine test. If the engine test page does not print,
try removing the formatter and performing the engine test again. If the engine test is then
successful, the problem is almost certainly with the control panel, or the cable that
connects it.
Hope this helps
