This article shows what to do if your PIXMA G1230 does not feed in paper, and no support code is displayed on the computer.

Solution

If the paper is not jammed (no support code displayed) but the paper is not fed or output normally, follow the procedure outlined below.

  1. Are there any foreign objects in the rear tray?

    Remove any foreign objects following the steps below.

     Do not touch the parts in the center of the rear tray with your hands. It could damage the printer.

     When checking the rear tray or removing any foreign objects, do not turn the printer upside down or tilt it. The ink may leak out.

    1. Press the printer's Stop button.

    2. Turn the printer off and unplug it.

  2. Is anything blocking paper output slot? If so, remove it.

  3. Is paper curled? If so, correct the curl before loading the paper.
