Recommendation
The printer may be in sleep mode. Press the panel
switch to wake up the printer. Check to see if the
printer is plugged into a live power source and the
power switch is on.
Check the following:


The printer is turned on.


All of the protective parts have been removed.


The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed
properly.


The interface cable is securely connected between
the printer and computer.


Check to see if the Alarm lamp is blinking. If the
lamp is blinking, refer to the Operator Call section
of this manual.


Check to see if the Ready lamp is blinking. If the
lamp is blinking fast, the printer might be cooling
down to lower the printers internal temperature.
Open the top cover of the printer to lower the
temperature.
Recommendation


Make sure the supplied Windows printer driver is
installed and selected with your application
software.
