Nothing Prints

If you have sent a print job and nothing prints, try these solutions:
• Make sure your product is turned on.
• Make sure any interface cables are connected securely at both ends.
• If you connected your product to a USB hub, make sure it is a first-tier hub. If it still does not print,
connect your product directly to your computer instead of the hub.
• Run a product check to see if a test page prints. If the test page prints, check to see if your product
software is installed correctly.
• In Windows, make sure your product is selected as the default printer.
• In Windows, delete all jobs from the Windows Spooler. Click Print Queue on the Maintenance tab in
the printer settings window, and cancel any stalled print jobs.
