What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Measured Canon service handoff for 1259
What they doProvide the exact model, serial number, 1259 message, job stage and the result of “Extend the output tray to its stop”. Ask the technician to reproduce the branch “the paper output tray is not pulled out fully” against the exact service information and record the failed observation or measurement before quoting a part.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Preserve the exact failure branch
Photograph 1259, the full touch-screen message and the exact TS8300 model. Note the paper source, active job and whether the code appeared before movement, during feed or after printing. The code narrows the branch to “the paper output tray is not pulled out fully”; it does not identify a replacement part.

Extend the output tray to its stop
Clear objects around the printer, pull the paper output tray forward until it stops, select OK and repeat the print or copy once. Do not retract the tray while the printer operates. If 1259 returns after this attempt, stop and use the official Canon reference below. Do not repeat the procedure.

What it means
Canon's official TS8300-series manual says support code 1259 means the paper output tray is not pulled out fully. This applies to the documented TS8320, TS8340, TS8350/51/52, TS8360, TS8370 and TS8390/91/92 family, not every Canon printer.

Evidence: Canon PIXMA TS8300 support code 1259
- 1259 persists after the documented actionPossible
If 1259 returns once the visible condition has been corrected, the safe external branch is exhausted. The recurrence proves only that the documented action did not resolve this branch; the display alone cannot select or confirm an internal component.
