Before You Begin Troubleshooting

If it becomes necessary for you to take corrective actions,

note the following safety tips and then begin your

troubleshooting by checking for possible hardware,

software, and printer maintenance problems.

Be sure to observe the safety guidelines and

recommendations provided in the Safety Notes.

Do not use tools or sharp objects to clear paper jams

since this may damage the printer. Do not touch the

surface of the Print Drum. Touching the drum may

damage it.

Avoid contact with the printer’s fuser area, which

may be very hot.
