Canon Canon PIXMA TS3520 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer 2500 Error Fix: Support Code 2500 — Print Head Alignment Failed

Error code 2500 on the Canon Canon PIXMA TS3520 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer means: Support Code 2500 — Print Head Alignment Failed. The automatic print head alignment process could not complete successfully. This happens when the alignment sheet cannot be read properly, typically because: the wrong paper type was loaded (use plain white Letter/A4 paper for alignment), the paper was loaded face-down or backwards, the print head nozzles are clogged (streaks or missing lines on the alignment sheet), or the scanner glass is dirty (the printer scans the alignment pattern). Run a nozzle check pattern first — if any nozzle sections show gaps, run a head cleaning before attempting alignment again. Clean the scanner glass with a soft cloth. Load fresh, clean plain white paper in the rear tray. Manual print head alignment is available as an alternative in the Maintenance settings if auto-alignment keeps failing.
