Skipping lines when printing on M922

JAALESSI52 — Sat, 27 Jul 2019 00:59:13 GMT

My Pixma 922 suddenly started giving me a problem. It skips lines when printing or copying. I cleaned the rollers with the program and with alchol. There are no error messages.

The strange thing is that it prints perfectly if I use duplex printing. Same document. Same computer. Computer is running Windows 10

Hi JAALESSI52,

Based on your description of the issue, it would appear as though the encoder/timing strip in your PIXMA MX922 is dirty or smudged and would need to be cleaned. To clean the encoder/timing strip, please follow the steps outlined in the following Knowledgebase Article available from Canon's web site:

Sorry it took so long for me to get back. I was away and didn't have access to the printer.
I was able to clean the encoder strip. I am getting the same thing. As long as I use duplex printing it works fine. If I use single sheet. I get the skipping of lines.

Hi,

Did you ever get this resolved? My MX922 is doing the same thing. I replaced the logic module, cleaned the head and the encoder strip. What was your experience?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. This is the first time I have been here in two years. I ended up replacing the printer head and the issue went away. My guess is it was clogged but that doesn't explain why it would work in duplex.
