Solve problems checklist
If the printer is not correctly functioning, complete the steps (in the order given) in the following checklist. If
the printer fails a checklist step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions for that step. If a
checklist step resolves the problem, skip the remaining checklist items.
1. If the control panel is blank or black, check the following before proceeding:
❑
Check the power cable.
❑
Check that the power is turned on.
❑
Make sure that the line voltage is correct for the printer power conguration. (See the label that is
on the back of the printer for voltage requirements.) If a power strip is in use, and its voltage is not
within specications, connect the printer directly into the electrical outlet. If it is already connected
into the outlet, try a dierent outlet.
