NOTE: Dell does not cover the printer’s warranty. If you need technical assistance for your
printer, call the printer’s manufacturer. See the printer documentation for the correct phone

operating near the computer can cause interference. Other causes of interference
are:

• Multiple power strips connected to the same electrical outlet
CHECK THE PRINTER DOCUMENTATION — See the printer documentation
for setup and troubleshooting information.
ENSURE THAT THE PRINTER IS TURNED ON — See the printer
documentation for power button information.
VERIFY THE PRINTER CABLE CONNECTIONS —
• See the printer documentation for cable connection information.
• Ensure that the printer cables are securely connected to the printer and the
computer.
TEST THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET — Ensure that the electrical outlet is
working by testing it with another device, such as a lamp.
