TR8630a

Last updated August 21, 2026

The Canon PIXMA canon-tr8630a-printer-setup printer is part of Canon's consumer inkjet line, built for homes and small home offices handling everyday mixed printing — documents, photos, forms, and school or hobby work. Unlike Canon's ink tank (MegaTank/G canon-tr8630a-printer-setup) or large-format imagePROGRAF lines, the PIXMA canon-tr8630a-printer-setup uses replaceable ink cartridges, typically a two-cartridge FINE system pairing pigment black for sharp text with dye-based color for photos.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. No Power:
    • Here are some common resolutions for fixing power issues:
      • Make sure the power plug is firmly connected to the printer
      • Make sure the main power switch is turned on
      • Make sure that the wall outlet/plug adaptor/extension cable is functional by plugging in a different device
  2. Printer not turned off:
    • When your printer is connected to a computer via a USB cable, if you press the printer’s ON button immediately after you turn off the computer, the printer may not turn off (ON lamp keeps flashing, LCD display does not turn off) in rare instances. If the printer is left in that condition for a long period of time, the temperature of the internal motor may rise, though it poses no safety hazard.
    • It can be prevented by updating the printer firmware, which is available for Windows and Mac.
  3. Fixing the print quality
    • Here are some common resolutions for fixing printing quality issues:
      • Make sure the page size and media type settings match size and type of loaded paper
      • Make sure appropriate print quality is selected
      • Make sure of the estimated ink levels
      • Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged by performing nozzle check print
      • Make sure the platen glass is not dirty (for copy)
      • Make sure original is properly loaded on platen (for copy)
  4. Paper Jam:
    • Solutions:
      • Turn off the printer
      • Gently remove jammed paper from the rear tray, output slot, or inside the printer
      • Check for torn paper pieces
      • Restart the printer
