Hardware installation suggestions

Check the device

•Make sure that all packing tape and material have been removed from outside and inside the device.

•Make sure that the device is loaded with paper.

•Make sure that no lights are on or blinking except the Power light, which should be on. If a light other than the Power light is on or blinking, there is an error. For more information, see Control-panel lights reference.

•Make sure that the device can print a printer status page.

•Rear access panel is locked into place.

Check the hardware connections

•Make sure that any cords and cables that you are using are in good working order.

•Make sure that the power cord is connected securely to both the device and to a working power outlet.

Check the printhead and ink cartridges

•Make sure that the printhead and all ink cartridges are firmly installed in their correct, colorcoded slot. Press down firmly on each one to ensure proper contact. The device cannot work if they are not all installed.
