Why Printing a Test Page Matters
Contents
If you own a Canon MX922, you’ve likely encountered print quality issues like streaks, faded text, or misaligned colors. A test page helps diagnose these problems by checking nozzle health, ink levels, and alignment. As an IT consultant with over a decade of experience, I’ve fixed hundreds of printers—let me guide you through the process.
Step 1: Access Printer Maintenance Settings
1. Power on your Canon MX922 and ensure it’s idle.
2. Open the Canon printer software on your computer or navigate the printer’s LCD menu.
3. Select “Maintenance” > “Print Test Page”.
Alternative Method (No Computer)
Hold the “Stop” button for 5 seconds until the printer starts the test print.
Step 2: Run Nozzle Check & Alignment
If the test page shows gaps or streaks:
– Clean print heads via the Maintenance menu.
– Check ink levels and replace cartridges if low.
– Repeat the test page to confirm fixes.

Blurry or Faded Prints
– Run a deep cleaning cycle (uses more ink).
– Ensure you’re using Canon-approved paper.
Printer Not Responding
– Restart the printer and computer.
