CleaningtheTimingStriponYourCanonPrinter

The timing strip is a clear, plastic strip approximately ¼” in height positioned horizontally across the

center of the unit, just in front of the carriage drive belt. The timing strip contains many thin black

vertical lines that help determine the carriage position during operation.

During certain uncommon tasks such as the removal of a paper jam, it is possible to inadvertently touch

a lubricated area on the printer’s chassis causing a small amount of grease to be deposited onto the

timing strip.

Grease on the timing strip may result in poor print quality including; mis-aligned or distorted characters,

vertical lines or, in some cases, an inoperable error condition or knocking / grinding noise.

In most cases, it is easy to remove the grease from the timing strip using common household items. If

you wish, you may follow the steps below to remove the grease from the timing strip.

Items needed:

•Clean, unused cotton swab

•Small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol or window cleaner

•Flashlight or other light source

Note: The illustrations will display a PIXMA MX700; however, the parts and cleaning procedure will be

the same for your model.

1) Power on the printer and open the main access cover (scanning unit cover).

The Print Head Holder (carriage) will move to ink changing (center) position.

2) With the access cover open, unplug the power cord from the printer. Be sure the printer’s power

LED is no longer illuminated. This will allow you to easily slide the carriage left to right.

3) Gently slide the carriage to the right side of the printer until it stops.

grease can impact print quality.

Note: The timing strip is in front of the carriage drive belt.

5) Moisten the cotton swab with Isopropyl alcohol and carefully remove the grease from the timing

strip. To prevent further spreading of grease, be careful not to touch the chassis or other areas

inside the unit which may contain grease from the factory.

Note: If Isopropyl Alcohol is not available, you may use window cleaner solution.

CAUTION: Do not remove the grease on the chassis (metal rail).

6) Once you have confirmed that the left and center portions of the timing strip are clean, gently

slide the carriage all the way to the left until it stops.

7) Repeat steps 4 & 5 for inspecting the right side of the timing strip until is completely free of

grease and other matter.

(The indicator light blinks steadily while the printer initializes.)

Pattern. If print quality is still poor, repeat the above steps.

(e.g. A nozzle check pattern can be printed via the printer’s menu (Settings > Maintenance >
