If your printer is not operating properly, make sure that
the following hardware and software issues have been
considered:
Hardware • Is the printer plugged in?
• Is the printer switched on?
Software • Is the correct printer driver installed and selected for
your printer configuration?

printing. You can avoid these problems by regularly
taking the following precautions:
• Insert media trays properly and securely.
• Keep covers securely closed.
Consumables An empty laser print cartridge or expended maintenance
item will degrade or prevent printing.
• Keep consumables and maintenance items in supply.
• Add or replace when prompted by the printer.

maintenance item are included with the individual
replacement packages.
