Printing Does Not Start

Check 1: Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged in, then

turn the printer on.

While the Power lamp is flashing green, the printer is initializing. Wait until the Power lamp stops

flashing and remains lit green.

Note

When printing large data such as a photo or graphics, it may take longer to start printing. While the Power lamp is flashing green, the computer is processing data and sending it to the printer. Wait until printing starts.

Check 2: Check the status of ink tanks. Replace the ink tank if ink has run out.

Check 3: Open the Top Cover and check to see if the ink lamps are

flashing red.

If there is still sufficient ink but its ink lamp is flashing red, an ink tank may not be installed in a right

position.

Routine Maintenance

Check 4: Open the Top Cover and make sure that the ink lamps light up

red.

If the ink lamp is not lit, press the mark on the ink tank until it clicks into place.

Check 5: Make sure that the USB cable is securely plugged in to the

printer and the computer, then check the followings:

If you are using a relay device such as a USB hub, disconnect it, connect the printer directly to the computer, and try printing again. If printing starts normally, there is a problem with the relay device. Consult the reseller of the relay device for details.

There could also be a problem with the USB cable. Replace the USB cable and try printing

again.

Check 6: Restart your computer if you are printing from the computer.

If there are any unnecessary print jobs, delete them.
