Basic Printer Problems Some printer problems can be easily resolved. If a problem occurs with your printer, check each of the following: • The power cable is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet. • The printer is not plugged into a power strip or uninterruptible power supply. • The printer is turned on. • The electrical outlet is not turned off at any switch or breaker. • Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working. • All options are properly installed. If you have checked all of the above and still have a problem, turn off the printer, wait for 10 seconds, and then turn on the printer. This often fixes the problem. Basic Printer Problems | 261
