Troubleshooting

Printing Will Not Start

If printing will not start, check whether the power of the printer is on or whether the power can be turned on or not.

If an error occurs when you try printing, change the computer or printer driver settings.

Power Cannot Be Turned On

If the [Power] key does not light or does not blink when it is pressed, check if there is something wrong with the power cord or wall outlet.

Check the following:

z

z

Make sure that the power plug is firmly inserted into the wall outlet.

Check if there is something wrong with the wall outlet. Do this by connecting another electronic product whose operation you are familiar with.

If the above steps do not solve the problem, turn the power off, pull out the power cable, and contact your sales or service representative. See p.135 "Where to Inquire".

Paper Will Not Feed Even When the Power Is On

If printing will not start even when the power is on, check if an error has occurred using the indicators or Status monitor.

An indicator is lit or blinking

Only the [Power] key is blinking.

The printer may be receiving data or replenishing its ink. Wait momentarily for the blinking [Power] key to stop and stay lit.

The [Resume] key or a cartridge replacement indicator is blinking or lit.

An error has occurred.

An error message is displayed on the Status monitor.

Check the printer icon name does not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters. (If it does, shorten it.)
