Troubleshooting
Before you troubleshoot
Use this checklist to solve most printer problems:
• Make sure the power cord is plugged into the printer and into a properly grounded, working electrical
outlet.
• Make sure the printer is turned on.
• Make sure the printer is securely connected to the computer, print server, or network access point.
• Check the printer for error messages, and resolve any errors.
• Check for paper jam messages, and clear any jams.
• Check the ink cartridges, and install new cartridges if necessary.
• Turn the printer off, wait about 10 seconds, and then turn the printer back on.
Note: Make sure the printer is not in Sleep mode. Press and hold
for three seconds to turn off
the printer.
