Solving basic printer problems

Sometimes printer problems are very easy to solve. When you have a problem, first make sure that:
• If a message is displayed on the operator panel, see
• The printer power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.
• The printer power switch is on.
• The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.
• Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.
• All options are properly installed.
• If you have checked all of the above and still have a problem, turn the printer power off, wait
for about 10 seconds, and then turn the printer power on. This often fixes the problem.
