How to clear or reset canon mf3240
TVeblen
is printing checks. Problem is- partial pages or single checks. When feeding
a partial page into the MP Tray, the print job goes through, but then the
printer calls an error and requests the correct paper size. I want to then
clear the print job (ignore the non-error) and move on but can't find any
setting to do so. Does anyone know how to do so?
I know I am supposed to use a check "caddy". But don't want to. Too
cumbersome. Want a faster process.
Currently I keep a scrap piece of paper nearby. I just run it through after
printing the check. But this wastes toner.
I have tried hitting the reset button, the Stop/Cancel button, going into
the "System Monitor" menu and finding the print job and hitting reset, etc.
I have tried using the Machine Status key, scrolling to "TX Status" to
delete any documents stored in memory, but the reading is "None".
I have tried to use the software to reset the paper size. The software does
not allow a paper size that is shorter than it is wide. Besides, I don't
want to have to fiddle with the print setting every time I print a single
check. It would be faster to find and use the check caddy.
Cancelling the print job in OS is not applicable: the print job has already
been executed.
I just want to clear the print job from the printers memory. The only way
I've been able to do this is to disconnect the power. This cannot be good
for the machine.

the left side first in IE rotated 90 deg from the way you are doing it.
Usually, printer drivers and or application software have options to support
this. Printing individual envelopes is a similar application.

the check did not print correctly (off center) and I still got a "Load
correct size paper" error. I will play with it on the weekend and see if I
can set up the software correctly (using scrap paper, not my check stock).
Thanks for the input.

No joy. I can get the "load correct paper size" problem to go away if I
setup the printer to print envelopes, but the software (QuickBooks 2007)
will not orient the print correctly regardless on which combination of
settings I use. It prints starting in the center like a envelope. I tried
creating a custom form size for the printer (3.87 x 7.50), but it still
prints like an envelope. I tried the alignment feature in QuickBooks but it
is limited to 1/2" and I need to go almost 3". It doesn't matter if I feed
the printer in the center (sideways) or portrait.
I tried setting Paper Size to Letter and Output Size to Monarch and
selecting Manual Scaling at 100% - still prints like an envelope.
I still need a way to clear the printer's memory.
I miss my LaserJet IIp plus. It was a very dumb machine and did whatever you
wanted without complaint.
