I have a MF644CDW printer and have installed some brand new high output canon OEM carts. When print color test pages, the amount of color dropped on the page is a fraction of what is needed to make the output suitable. I am attempting to do image quality tests (gradiation, correction, etc), and none of the tests complete, in fact, these tests fail before the printer actually prints a page to scan, when that is required. The toner carts have only been used to print test pages so far. Black is the only color that prints correctly. I have reset the printer to factory settings, cleaned the internals, put other toner carts in, and none of this has helped. When I spoke to support, they told me I could take it to a repair shop (no such thing has existed in my town for more than a decade), and had no alternatives to test or otherwise troubleshoot the issue. I wish I had done something when this stated about 4 months ago, because the unit would have still been in warranty, but this is where I am. Is there any guidance or additional troubleshooting/testing that I might be able to do to get the system to complete the tests? All printing functions work, the cart springs and other features appear to be in place.

Greetings,
I must have missed this post. I have a 644 too , but am not having these issues. The printer has a 3 yr warranty. Are you now outside of that? I assume it worked previously (until 4 months ago)?
You stated none of the tests complete? What happens, does an error message display?

Unfortunately, despite it being a problem for a few months, I didn't report it until after the warranty period ended.
The display on the printer returns "Could not perform correction.". No issues with toner (all new carts), I have reseated them, replaced them with older toners that still have enough to test, and have run all cleaning tasks. Even did a firmware upgrade and reset the printer to factory defaults.
