Sometimes the lights on the printer signal a problem.
mBoth lights are off. To conserve energy, the printer turns itself off if it’s left idle for some time (usually about 5 minutes). If you suspect a problem, press the power button. If the lights remain off, check to make sure the power cord is plugged in properly and the outlet has power. If you can’t turn the printer lights on, see the information about service and support that comes with the printer.
mThe error light glows steadily. Either the printer is out of paper or the paper has misfed. Check your computer screen for messages. See Chapter 2 for instructions on loading the sheet feeder, or “Paper Is Jammed” and “Paper or Envelopes Feed Improperly” earlier in this chapter.
mThe error light blinks. The ink cartridge may not be seated properly. Open the printer’s cover. Make sure the cartridge is inserted properly, and that the bright blue lever is firmly lowered to secure the cartridge in place. For instructions, see “Installing the Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 1.
