If you took some time to search this forum, you would find at least a dozen discussions about this. Slipping ITB belt from dirty interior, old ITB belt that is stretched, worn ITB gears, old ITB clean blade, reseting laser adjustment cams to home position, clearing DC-Con (only after making sure you have either a P-Print or Label Print printout).

You are doing the hard part first, and it may not be needed, as CanonTech stated, start with the ITB first, go to lasers as a last resort when all other suggestions have been looked into, especially the life of the parts we have already spoken of. Is it time for a new belt, make sure it is clean inside the assembly? Blade? Worn gears? Do the easy stuff first...

This image I printed from Full Auto Gradation tool. But when I go to the service mode 1 -> Test-> PG type 6 or 8 or 10 or 12 then press Go , no thing happend, The printer dose not print.

I tried to clean everything and swap grears, change the blade but the colors still missalignment that why I tried to adjust the lasers cam. But I don't know where is the center position of lasers bar.

Re: Canon iR C3220 misalignment.

when printing a test page from service mode you have to choose a paper tray with paper in it to print from. Should be under PG-PICK. Default is tray 1.

Type int thest print (hit OK)
Choose paper tray (hit OK)
Then push the start key (Green circle)

try running a quick auto gradation as well
and which gears did you replace/swap? The drive gears that mount in the machine get worn and dirty and then do not mesh well with the drive gear on the rear of the ITB.

Also make sure that you reader unit that sits above the ITB is clean and sitting correctly above the belt.

@charm5496 I swap the gear of ITB and clean inside the transfer belt too.

Ohh Maybe the cassette 1,2,3,4, has problem, when I put the paper in to cassette, the printer does not know paper, it is keep alarm empty cassete. maybe that is the reason why it isn't print with PG10 or something .

Thank you Teckat i will interested in to the coner of laser gear.

Your post is or was about colour misalignment not the fact that all 4 cassettes don't work.

Load paper in all 4 trays in normal user mode and check "paper select" to see if the machine knows there's paper in the trays.

If this works ok, your not using PG PICK properly.

When you cleaned the transfer belt did you clean the rubber rollers, was the transfer assembly dirty inside?

Re: Canon iR C3220 misalignment.

paper tray must have worked , poster shows a copy of an AUTO-GRADATION print out

something is out of wack if u can't print out a PG Print

Re: Canon iR C3220 misalignment.

In my humble opinion,

IR C3200 series is junk, between the transfer belts, fusers, and doc feeders, it's crap on wheels. If it's a customers machine or you just *really* like having one, just buy one off lease for $100 and call it a day. That's what they go for around here in good condition with less than 150k on them.

EDIT: forgot about the damn rubber rollers after the fuser melting and slinging molten rubber everywhere.

Same goes for C3170's
