why is the alarm light on? it will not print.

When the paper jammed or is jammed (and needs to be cleared from the printer), when you need to replace ink cartridges, etc. Probably after you clear the paper jam or replace the cartridge, just press the OK button and that may clear turn off the light. When that light goes on, it should prevent you from printing until you turn it off. That's the OK.

it's really hard to say since you didn't give much details it depends on what the message is giving you and also what color the light is I have had that problem but the message said check ink or it gave me an error and all I would do is press and hold the stop button until the alarm light goes off. Sorry I can't help much further without details but try that.

Do you have an online manual? All the answers can be found in it. I believe you can press and hold the STOPbutton to clear it. Check your paper and ink, too.

I am not sure, as my pixma mx340 doesn't have one on. If it's the first time you've used it, perhaps a cord is not properly connected. Really, it could be any number of things. If I were you, I would look up Canon's website and use their troubleshooting guide. If that doesn't help, you can always send the tech support an email. Good luck.

I purchased a Canon PIXMA MX340 and never had much success with it. It was very slow and printing with it was 'hit or miss'. I opted to donate it and purchase another brand that was not wireless. I do not know if 'wireless' had anything to do with the problems I had, but also in my case, the alarm light stayed on more often than not.

Kathi I don' use my alarm but it should be in the instructions. Just wait and someone else who has one will answer. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Unfortunately it is a default settings from all printers. It should help if you push reset then start, if it stops printing mid work.

Just turn it so the zero is facing up. The alarm should stop when you do that

Same here....the alarm is way too sensitive......I ended up pulling the battery and using the lock without the alarm

battery, try letting it sit for awhile and try again. If the battery is really dead sometimes you'll get that alarm, but if you keep at it will work, but sometimes it a short or a dead cell and the battery is shot.

Charged? I didn't have to charge it. I just plugged it in.If the clock doesn't turn on send it back

I fill the ink tanks using the ink syringe-- now the Alarm light comes on right after power-up. Nothing works when the Alarm light is on. How do I disable this?

I'm having the same problem, attempting to troubleshoot. Printer keeps going offline and the only fix seems to be uplug it and plug it back in.

I called the 800# & they said it needs to be ran under warm water for 20 seconds, dry it & it should be fine. Did that to mine over & over again but still didnt stop my alarm from going off. Had to return mine, i had the same problem as you.

It sounds like a bad unit. Mine prints just fine and I'm sorry I'm not more help. Can you return it and get new one?

Sounds like it might be defective. It should at least have the readout of the clock on the front, although it can be hard to see in direct light. I would make sure the batteries were new and put in correctly. If that doesn't work, I would send it back.

Your sensor is putting it into snooze (the sensor that you can wave your hand over to get it to go into snooze). I hated the sensor because it would go off too easily so I put electrical tape over it. That worked for a year and my clock stopped going into snooze, but now it's doing what yours is doing. It goes to snooze before it even goes off. I can tell because the AL1 light flashes in snooze. I wish I had returned it because now I can't rely on it at all.

What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked

I think the one we got was defective. I could never get the alarm set. sorry I can't answer your question.

Have no positive idea - in all probability, You should again push the button whichactivated the "It's Done" Tone/Alarm originally. Don't actually know - apparently I've never pushed my button - it's quiet!
