Room Lights Dim or Flicker When Printer Starts

The following characteristics define this type of problem:

■Nearby lights dim slightly or flicker when you first turn on the printer or when the printer begins printing.

■The lights remain normal when the printer is not on.

■The printer generates printed sheets without a problem.

■The control panel does not display an error code.

The following procedure guides you through multiple actions that may solve this problem. Pro- ceed one step at a time until the problem is solved. You may not need to complete the entire pro- cedure. If one of the steps in this procedure corrects the problem but the identical problem returns in less than 50 prints, call for service.

1.Unplug all devices that are plugged into the same AC wall outlet as the printer.

During warm-up and at the start of each print run, the printer normally draws a large amount of current. If other devices are running off of the same AC circuit, the accumula- tive current draw may result in nearby lights momentarily dimming.

2.Have an electrician check your building wiring.

There may be a problem with the AC outlet or the AC wiring in the building that needs the attention of a licensed electrician.

3.Call your service technician.

This problem may be caused by a malfunctioning or broken component that requires ser- vice.
