MX439. How can I align a new cartridge? - PIXMA Canon Office Equipment & Supplies

SOURCE: alignment after new cartridge

Hi I think that you will need to clean the gold dots on the printer carriage or if not done so remove the blue tape from the cartridge or if you are trying to use refills install some originals as this may help.

Hope this helps'
Please rate me

Go here. Type "how to install ink" in the search box. Click "Search", then select "How do I install the ink cartridge(s)". You will get instructions with pictures on how to prepare and install the cartridges.

Sounds like the cartridge ink jets have dried up. Try running a cleaning on them to see if you can unclog them. If this fails to work try gently rubbing the ink jets with a Qtip and alcohol. If this doesn't work for you then you will need to purchase new cartridges.

Sometimes the Canon printers which use PG-5BK/CL-8 colour cartridges with chips will give error massages like 6502 or other types of error message to do with the cartridges, which has the orange light flashing and the printer will not work. Follow this procedure which quite often resets the printer and allows it to resume printing.

When error is indicated, turn power switch off so green light is extinguished.

First hold down resume button and then hold down power button so both are held down at same time

When green light comes on, continue holding down power button and let resume button go, then press resume button twice. Then let power button go.

Then press resume button four times, power button should be released before doing this.

Wait until printer settles down, if power is off, turn on. If power will not come on, remove power cord from back of printer, then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in again and turn power on. This normally solves the error problem - if not go through same procedure again.

Incidentally, you may find that if the chips had previously been disabled, the low ink warnings are showing again and they will have to be disabled once more. This would indicate that the above procedure clears the firmware memory of the disabling of the chips, this may be useful if you need some warranty work done on your
printer after the chips had been disabled.

In my experience, usually alignment is canceled because one (or both) of the cartridges is not printing properly, and needs to be cleaned.

Hopefully, your alignment page will have printed something before it got canceled. Look at it and see whether the print is in color or black -- then clean whichever cartridge is NOT printing. (Search for "how to clean HP/Compaq/Brother etc. cartridge" for details of the right way to do it for your particular printer. What often works, though, is to take a Q-tip, moisten it with hot water, and gently rub the print head. You can escalate from there to immersing print head in boiling water, using water/alcohol, using an ultrasonic cleaner, etc.)

After you've cleaned the cartridge, the printer may say "remove and check cartridge." Sometimes, all you have to do is take it out and put it in again.
