P S flashing BA on P S B A flashing When the P power and S paper out lights flash and the B black and A color ink out lights come on, jammed paper may be blocking movement of the print head. See The Ppower and S paper out lights are flashing and the B black and A color ink out lights are on for more information. When all the lights flash, your printer may have an internal error. See All the lights are flashing for more information. Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts. You can run a printer operation check to determine whether the problem comes from the printer itself or some other source. If the check page prints, the problem lies in your software or application settings, the interface cable, or your computer. If the check page does not print correctly, you may have a problem with your printer. See the suggestions in this chapter for possible solutions. 1 Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. 2 Disconnect the interface cable from the printer. 3 Make sure paper is loaded in the printer. 4 Hold down the E load/eject button, then press and release the P power button. Continue holding down the E load/eject button until the P power light starts to flash, then release it. The printer prints its ROM version number, an ink counter code, and a nozzle check pattern (shown in Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern). 5 To end the check, turn off the printer. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer.
