Troubleshooting
Clear the paper jam or foreign object that is preventing the FINE Cartridge
Holder from moving, cancel printing from your computer, then turn OFF
the machine and turn it back ON again.
Ensure that the [ON/OFF] lamp on the Operation Panel is on.
If the lamp on the Operation Panel is off, turn the machine ON.
If the Alarm lamp is on, an error may have occurred in the machine. For
details on how to resolve the error, refer to "An Error Message Is
