New printer grinding sound

Just bought a Canon PIXMA MX922 and it works great but makes a loud grinding noise before printing. How do I make it stop?

Hi colleen7,

Some noises prior to printing are normal, especially the first print after turning the printer on. In order to better assist you, allow me to ask a couple questions:

Does the sound continue throughout the printing process?

Does the sound also occur when photocopying?

I look forward to your reply.

Thank you for responding.

It makes the sound when I first turn it on, when it is preparing to print or copy, but not while printing or copying. It is a very loud scraping sound. I also hear all the other sounds that sound very smooth and normal as in all printers. But then all of a sudden there is a loud scraping sound that only lasts a second but will happen 1 to 3 times at those times I noted above.

There are several possible causes for an unusual noise coming from the printer.

To stop this noise, click on the link to open the article and get detailed instructions.

An ink tank(s) is not seated properly.
Paper is jammed or there is an object inside the printer.
The encoder film/strip may need to be cleaned.
Object s inside the printer may include packing material. Anything orange can be removed and discarded.
