• Canon MF216n Wakes Up By Itself

    From Wade Garrett@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 6 08:52:22 2021
    Got a stand-alone Canon imageCLASS MF216n connected by USB cable to an
    iMac running MacOS Monterey 12.0.1. No other connections.

    Lately, the printer has started to occasionally wake up out of sleep
    mode for no reason while I'm using the computer-- but have not issued
    any print commands.

    Ideas to get it to quit doing this?

    My wife asked me to take her to one of those restaurants where they make
    the food right in front of you. So I took her to Subway...and that’s how
    the fight started.

    Look in the manual. It's probably a self cleaning cycle.

    Thanks. I didn't see anything in the manual-- and this is new behavior
    in a printer that's been in light use a few years.
