MP C2051 Can not print test pattern SP2-109-003

[SteinarN]

New question, I hope you bear with me

I printed out a colour test pattern from SP1-103-002.
I noticed there was a small positional error between the different toners, not a large error but still clearly visible with the naked eye when looking carefully, maybe around 5/100mm.
I then read the manual and found line position adjustment procedures.
I did follow the procedures, SP2-111-003 and SP2-111-001 twice, checked results inbetween in SP2-194-007, was ok.
I then went to SP2-109-003 for printing out test pattern. I put A3 paper on the by-pass tray as stated, the paper is sensed as I can hear the beep.
But I can't get the machine to print out the pattern, not any of the patterns. I select the pattern, it is highlighted and I hit "OK". When I hit "OK" both the "OK" and the "CANCEL" button goes inactive and nothing happens.
What can the problem be?

You can’t print that pattern on A3 has to be A4 plain.

You can’t print that pattern on A3 has to be A4 plain.

The manual states A3 paper.
I now tried with A4, both LEF and SEF form the by-pass tray, still nothing happens.
I have A4 LEF in tray one. I have tried without any paper in the by-pass tray, still no go.

Have you set it to plain 80gsm ?

what size is defined on the display for bypass tray? and what weight?

[SteinarN]

what size is defined on the display for bypass tray? and what weight?

Paper type: Do not display
Size: Auto detection
Weight: 60-81grm

[SteinarN]

I tried manually specify A3 in the by-pass tray, still no go.

In the machine there is no option for "Plain". Only "Do not display".
When I check in WIM it says "Plain" there when I put in "Do not display" in the machine.
Yes, it is set to 60-81grm.

It is not important to fix this little problem.
I printed out the first colour test pattern again, and now that pattern looks very good
So it seems the adjustment procedure was sucessfull

Thank you all for suggestions and try to help

After selecting the pattern you want to print are you going to the service mode "COPY WINDOW"? And why are you not going back to Printer SP an using 1103-002 again? One more thing, did you clean the Image Density (ID) sensor assembly? Often just cleaning it will pull line position back in alignment.
