Performing the initial troubleshooting check

Before you start the troubleshooting procedures, perform the following checks:
•
With the power cord unplugged from the wall outlet, check that the cord is free from breakage, short-circuits,
disconnected wires, or incorrect connections.
• Make sure the printer is properly grounded. Check the power cord ground terminal.
•
Make sure the power supply line voltage is within 10% of the rated line voltage.
•
Make sure the machine is securely installed on a level surface in a well-ventilated area.
• Make sure the room temperature is between 16 and 32°C (60 and 90°F) and that the relative humidity is between
20 and 80%.
•
Avoid sites generating ammonia gas, high temperature, high humidity (near water faucets, kettles, humidifiers),
cold spaces, near open flames, and dusty areas.
•
Avoid sites exposed to direct sunlight.
• Make sure the paper is the recommended paper for this printer.
•
Make a trial print with paper from a newly opened package, and check the result.
