What to do if my Xerox Printer does not print?

  If your Xerox Printer isn't printing, it could be in Energy Saver mode. Try pushing the control panel button. Also, check the error indicator: if it's on and the Ready Indicator is off, the printer is out of toner and you should replace the toner cartridge; if the Ready Indicator is flashing, load paper into the Main Tray. If the error persists, contact your Xerox representative. If both control panel indicators are off, turn off the printer, make sure the power cord is correctly plugged in, and turn it back on.

  If your Xerox Printer isn't turning on, first ensure that the power switch is turned on. Next, check that the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. If it still doesn't work, test the outlet with another appliance or try a different outlet. Finally, verify that the outlet's voltage and frequency match the printer's specifications.

Why does my Xerox Printer reset or turn off frequently?

  Jill ButlerSep 12, 2025
  If your Xerox Printer frequently resets or turns off, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into both the printer and the outlet. Also, it could be a system error, so try turning the printer off and on again. If that doesn't work, the printer might be connected to an uninterruptible power supply, in which case you should connect it to a suitable outlet. Lastly, avoid sharing a power strip with other high-power devices; plug the printer directly into the outlet.

  If condensation has formed inside your Xerox Printer, it may have been sitting in a cold room. Allow the printer to operate for several hours at room temperature. Alternatively, the humidity in the room might be too high; reduce the humidity or move the printer to a location within the operating specifications.
