Confirm that the cable is securely plugged into the power outlet

Turn on the power.
If not, press the{Online} key to light it.
If so, check the error message on the display and take the required
action.
Load paper into the paper tray or onto the bypass tray.
See p.89 "Loading Paper".
If you cannot print a configuration page, it probably indicates a
printer malfunction. Contact your sales or service representative.
See "Test Printing", Quick Installation Guide.
Connect the interface cable securely. If it has a fastener, fasten it
securely as well.
The type of interface cable you should use depends on the compu-
ter you use. Be sure to use the correct one.
If the cable is damaged or worn, replace it with a new one.
See p.182 "Specifications".
If not blinking or lit, the data is not being sent to the printer.
❖ If the printer is connected to the computer using the in-
terface cable
Check the port connection setting is correct. For details about
checking the port connection, see p.160 "Checking the port
connection".
❖ Network Connection
Contact your network administrator.

Either move to a location where the signal is good, or remove
obstructions.
❖ Infrastructure Mode
Check the signal status in the [IEEE 802.11b] menu on the con-
trol panel. If the signal is poor, either move to a location where
it is good, or remove obstructions.
