      If your Xerox Printer isn't printing, there are several potential reasons. First, ensure the printer is receiving power by checking the power cord connections, power switch, and the power source. Also, verify that the printer is selected as the default printer in your Windows Printer folder. Other things to check: the printer cover is closed, paper is not jammed, paper is loaded, and the toner cartridge is installed. If a printer system error occurs, contact your service representative.
