A circuit breaker trips because there was an overload on the line. A tripped breaker may indi-

building wiring. If the breaker is not tripped, but the lamp doesn’tlight when plugged into
the outlet, replace the outlet or have an electrician check the line.

may return the printer to normal operation. A thermal shutdown may indicate there is a more
serious problem with the printer. If the problem reoccurs, call for service.
