imageCLASS MF656Cdw constantly recalibrating

[HBPD5801]

The printer is constantly recalibrating. I use my printer for different size paper as well. And even though I have entered in the custom sizes or used from list, it calibrates and asks me to choose a size between each document. And even though it says it should hold 50 sheets in manual feeder, it does not; and it calibrates between EACH PAGE. PLEASE HELP😢😒

I'm not sure what you mean.  The automatic document feeder holds up to 50 sheets, the manual blank paper feeder at the lower front of the machine can take only one sheet at a time.

You can also reduce (but not eliminate) automatic adjusting by turning off the Auto Adjust Image Regularly and set the Correct Print Color Mismatch to When Turning Main Power on, both settings on the LCD.

Hey there!

You might have confused the paper drawer with the manual feed slot.

Take a look at the diagrams HERE. The paper drawer is #12, and the manual feed slot is #11.

Since he mentioned 50 sheets, it appears that he was confusing the manual feed slot with the ADF, not the paper drawer.

Please let me clarify: You are correct about why wording of how many pages the MANUAL FEEDER holds. I am aware that it only holds 1 at a time (which just seems like a waste of time to me). And I have confirmed that my settings for automatic adjusting by turning off the Auto Adjust Image Regularly and set the Correct Print Color Mismatch to When Turning Main Power on, both settings on the LCD are set correctly. It still recalibrates between EVERY PAGE that is being fed into the MANUAL FEEDER. So not only do I have to FEED only 1 sheet at a time, but I also have to wait for it to calibrate between each page. This is a huge waste of time. And because they are PO"S they are a different size then normal. Are there any other suggestions you can make to at least alleviate the calibrating between each MANUALLY FED page?

Hopefully this clarifies my question.

After setting the Auto Adjust Image Regularly and Correct Color Mismatch as you have, it only goes through a correction process the first time I print for the day (and honestly I can do without that) - I don't turn the printer off.  If yours is going that on every manual feed print there is something wrong, and you may need to contact Canon support, unfortunately.  I don't think there are any other settings for you to change.

Greetings ,

Are you using OEM, Canon branded toners?  How old is your printer?

Greetings ,

Mine is about a year and a half old. I think it's calibrated once in that whole time.  I would contact Canon Support. The printer has a 3-year warranty.  If you haven't registered your device yet, please do so in the MyCanon portal.  Then call support at 1-800-652-2666.  The printer should not be recalibrating over and over and over.
