Brian, Thanks for the reply.
I looked for the paper sensor, and not being a techie, I have no idea what I'm looking for, can you give me a hint as to what it's physical appearance may be.???
I tried the unplug/plug thing without any success.
Also I tried to find a direct link to Cannon Tech but all I get is 3rd. party techies.
Thanks again,
Walt




Walt usually these type of sensors have a black plastic lever called a actuator with a spring on it. When the paper passes it over it one end of the actuator blocks a photo interupter which signals the processor the paper is present. When the paper goes past the sensor actuator the return spring forces the actuator lever to return to its home position and the photot interupter is now unblocked. If you do a search on google for a image of a paper sensor actuator you will see the various types and what they look like. Remember these things are black and hard to see in there!!! Anyway just make sure it is not blocked and can move freely and not hung up. Sorry to say most of them small printers are not worth the cost of repair.
