Canon printer, paper misalignment

Question

Hello,

I have a CANON PIXMA MP252 printer.
For a few days, the sheets are coming out crooked and wrinkled.

I checked, and I didn’t see any objects that could interfere with the paper's descent.
The rollers seem to be turning fine.

What could be causing this problem?
It's very annoying when I need to print documents and I have to try several times.

Thank you for your help.

Configuration: PC ACER Aspire X1430
Motherboard: ??
Processor: AMD E-300 1.3GHz
RAM: 4 GB
Integrated graphics card: Radeon HD Graphic
OS: Windows 7 SP1

I really can't see anything.
When I put a stack of new sheets, it goes down well.

When it malfunctions, the sheets always go to the same side,
the left side goes down before the right side.

It annoys me.

Personally, I still think there's something that is "obstructing."

PS: Let's check when the problem started.

See you later

I will check again.

billmaxime · Answer

re  I will check again    it doesn't take much for the paper to be "misfed/jammed"  1 piece of "I don't know what" can jam the printer  @+  -- the radiation level is higher at the employment agency than at Chernobyl

When I put a pack of new sheets, it drops well.  Do you "deram" the pack of sheets before putting it in place?  @+  -- the radiation level is higher at the employment office than at Chernobyl

M-RoDe · Answer

Yes, and it only takes one sheet.

billmaxime · Answer

re  Yes, and it only takes one sheet   did I miss an episode, or does it work normally?  @+  -- the radiation level is higher at the employment office than at Chernobyl

M-RoDe · Answer

From time to time, the sheet comes down well. Or if I guide from the top of the left side with my hand, I manage to make the right sheet come down.

Or if I guide on the top left side with my hand, I can make the right sheet come down.  Are the guides on both sides properly adjusted? (+- against the sheets)  @+  -- The radiation level is higher at the employment office than at Chernobyl.

M-RoDe · Answer

The guides are tightened as much as possible against the sheets. If I loosen them, it's the same.

Is the problem recent?

The printer is old, etc...

Try to put a piece of cardboard to the right size instead of the pack of sheets. Then print, it should push out what’s stuck.

re

Try putting a piece of cardboard to the correct size instead of the pack of sheets.
Then print a page, it should release what's stuck.

The idea isn't bad, but also check where the paper is getting stuck (to find the problem)

The problem appeared about 2 weeks ago. Is the printer old? I don't know, it must be at least 3 years old.  Is that old for a printer?

No, my printer that also scans (HP PSC 1310) is about 10 years old and still works like a charm.

In your case, I suspect a "hardware" issue, but not being in "possession" of the printer and in front of it, I can't tell you more (sorry).

It's not a big deal. I'll see if I run into a handyman sometime, lol. Thanks anyway.

billmaxime · Answer

I’ll see if I come across a handyman sometime, lol.  I don't think you need a handyman, but that you should take a closer look at what the problem is.  @+  -- The radiation level is higher at the job center than in Chernobyl.

Hello,

Just to add my two cents.
"The age" of a printer is measured more by the number of prints than by years. Do you print a lot with it?

For my part, I would think more about wear or dirt on the rollers or drive pads. These are the rubber rollers that feed the paper by turning.
You can try to see if you can slightly scrape them (or it). I'm not sure if they can be replaced on small printers.

M-RoDe · Answer

I print quite a bit, yes. I had already had a problem with a drive roller that had become "smooth" on another printer.  I’ll see if I can scrape a bit and whether it can be changed or not.

M-RoDe · Answer

I used an electric blower on the printer.I did a cleaning and printed two test pages.The sheets came out correctly.I have a 40-page document to print tomorrow, I'll see how it goes.
