•Make sure that the power light is on and not blinking. When the device is turned on for the first time, it takes approximately 20 minutes to initialize it after the printheads are installed.

•Make sure that the power cord and other cables are working, and are firmly connected to the device. Make sure the device is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC) power outlet, and is turned on. For voltage requirements, see Electrical specifications.

•Make sure that the media is loaded correctly in the input tray and is not jammed in the device.

•Make sure that all packing tapes and materials are removed.

•Make sure that the device is set as the current or default printer. For Windows, set it as the default in the Printers folder. For the Mac OS X, set it as the default in the Printer Setup Utility (Mac OS X v.10.4). For Mac OS X (v.10.5), open System Preferences, select Print & Fax, and then select the device from the Default Printer drop-down list. See your computer's documentation for more information.

•Make sure that Pause Printing is not selected if you are using a computer running Windows.
