Printing Stops Before It Is Completed - Canon S 300 User Manual

Printing Stops Before It is Completed

■ Check the status of the POWER lamp.
When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer is processing data. Printing a large
amount of data, such as a photograph or illustration, takes time for the computer to
process, during which the printer may appear to not be functioning.
In addition, when continuously printing material that uses a large amount of black ink on
plain paper, the printer will sometimes pause. In either case, wait until the processing is
complete.
■ Halt the print job and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes to cool the printhead.
The printhead can overheat when continuously printing for a long time. To protect the
printhead, the printer will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before
resuming. In this event, interrupt the print job at a convenient time, then turn the printer
off for at least 15 minutes.
Furthermore, when continuously printing graphics or photos with intense colors, printing
may stop to protect the printhead. In this case, printing will not resume. Turn the printer
off and wait at least 15 minutes before turning the printer back on and reprinting the job.
Caution ➤
The area around the printhead inside the printer can become extremely
hot. Do not touch the printhead or nearby components.
