Printing Does Not Start

• Check 1: Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged in, then
turn the machine on.
While the POWER lamp is flashing, the machine is initializing. Wait until the POWER lamp stops
flashing and remains lit.
Note
When printing large data such as a photo or graphics, it may take longer to start printing. While
the POWER lamp is flashing green, the computer is processing data and sending it to the
machine. Wait until printing starts.
• Check 2: Make sure that the machine is connected to your computer
properly.
When the machine is connected to your computer with a USB cable, make sure that the USB cable is
securely plugged in to the machine and the computer, then check the followings:
• If you are using a relay device such as a USB hub, disconnect it, connect the machine directly to
the computer, and try printing again. If printing starts normally, there is a problem with the relay
device. Consult the reseller of the relay device for details.
• There could also be a problem with the USB cable. Replace the USB cable and try printing again.
When you use the machine over LAN, make sure that the machine is set up to be used over network
correctly.
• Check 3: Make sure that the front tray is open.
• Check 4: If you are printing from the computer and there are any
unnecessary print jobs, delete them.
