Top 20 Canon Pixma MX410 All-In-One Printer Questions & Answers

Either there is a small fragment of paper still hidden in the carriage somewhere, or the sensor is defective. If you can't seem to locate the problem, it would be best to contact Canon directly and ask technical service for assistance.

Is the Pixma connected to a wireless router (or connected by USB or ethernet cable)? It could be that the router connection failed. Try restarting the router, or repeat wireless connection on the Pixma.

PG510 and CL511 cartridges have a memory chip which records the number of pixels printed to give an approximate ink level so it won't know if you have added more ink. These levels cannot be re-set. The error message on computer screen should give instructions to continue printing with an "empty" cartridge which normally involve holding the Stop/Reset button on the printer for more than 5 seconds whilst the message is still on the PC screen. You may have to do this once for each of the 2 cartridges.

I am a bit rusty on this and not up with later machines (from my old fax machine) or latest phone system features, it is possible that your answering system is getting in ahead of the fax so it is unable to hear the fax tones to respond. Now I do not have an answering service but my line runs through a ring counter which transfers a call to my fax after 8 rings. If your answering service is a home device unit its instructions may help or it may have a socket on it for a fax to plug into so it can transfer a call. If its a provided service you may need to talk with them regarding this problem and they may have a setting that can be done to include a fax. That fax may have a ring count setting itself in the menu which may need to be lowered. Phones are not my normal subject so I may not make much sense but it seems that the answering service is winning the pick up the phone first contest, fax's are a bit older technology and tend to be lower on the priority list. They either have a dedicated line or get switched in at night when a company shuts shop. You may need a PBX system (a local phone exchange) if you have a home answering unit, these units can pick up a line at first ring then direct it to a fax if it hears tones, or phone if not after a few seconds but this will not work with a provided service. I think we are both confused now but I hope this helps in some way..........

I would think it is time for a new printer.

Do you know how to access the properties of the printer?

You have connected the phone line, right? Checked the phone line with a phone and you get a dial tone?

clean wast ink

Did you remove the transparent film on new cartridge? Just asking! Let us know.

I would start by cleaning under the print head. You could have some dust that's causing the blurring. You can also run a "cleaning cycle" and a "head alignment" which may help.

There are detailed instructions in the user manual at P007 You can download your manual here: http://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx410.aspx?type=manuals&language=

Ann, try plugging printer in and see if computer does a self installation. If not you may have to turn security off to install. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info."

Make sure you set it for black printing only.

The printheads for this printer are part of the ink cartridge. They can be cleaned by sitting the bottom of the cartridge (where the printhead is) in a shallow dish of warm water to dissolve the dried ink. Blot on a dry tissue (dont wipe) then try print again.

Refilled cartridges give a lot of trouble , I only use genuine. click start, devices and printers , right click the printer image, click trouble shooter follow instructions. Don't be supprised if the only fix is a new cartridge.
