What to do if the yellow light of Canon printer keeps flashing? If the yellow light of Canon printer keeps flashing and cannot print, it may be caused by many reasons. Here are some common situations and solutions:
1. Paper problem
Paper is out of paper or jammed: Check whether there is enough paper in the paper tray of the printer. If the paper is out of paper, you need to add paper. If there is a paper jam, you need to carefully remove the jammed paper and be careful not to tear it. You can open the paper tray and paper feed channel of the printer and gently pull out the paper according to the instructions in the printer manual.
Paper mismatch: Make sure the paper used meets the requirements of the printer, such as paper size, thickness, etc. If inappropriate paper is used, the printer may not be able to feed paper normally, causing the yellow light to flash.
2. Toner Cartridge or Ink Cartridge problem
Insufficient ink or toner in the cartridge: Check the ink or toner level of the cartridge. If it is insufficient, you need to replace it with a new cartridge.
Improper installation of the ink or toner cartridge: Open the cartridge cover of the printer and check whether the cartridge is installed correctly. Make sure they are firmly inserted into the corresponding position and are not loose or stuck. If they are not installed correctly, reinstall the ink cartridge or toner cartridge.
Print queue problem: If there are multiple print tasks waiting to be printed in the queue, and an error occurs in one of the tasks, the entire print queue may be blocked, causing the printer yellow light to flash. You can open the “Control Panel” on the computer, find the “Devices and Printers” or “Printers and Faxes” option, click to enter and find your Canon printer icon, right-click and select “View Printing Tasks”, delete all tasks in the print queue, and then restart the printer.
3. Connection problem
Loose or damaged USB cable: Check whether the USB cable between the printer and the computer is firmly connected. If it is loose, re-plug the USB cable; if the USB cable is damaged, you need to replace it with a new USB cable.
Wireless network connection problem: If it is a wireless connected printer, check whether the printer is connected to the same wireless network as the computer. You can try to reconnect to the wireless network, or restart the printer and wireless router.
Internal printer failure: If the above methods cannot solve the problem, there may be a fault inside the printer, such as sensor failure, motherboard failure, etc. In this case, we recommend to contact Canon’s after-sales service center for professional technicians to repair it.
Before performing any repair operations, it is best to consult the user manual of the Canon printer for more specific troubleshooting guidance.
