When you have a problem, first make sure that: • If a message is displayed on the operator panel, see Understanding the printer messages. • The printer power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet. • The printer power switch is on. • The electrical outlet is not turned off by 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 the printer power off, wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn the printer power on. This often fixes the problem. Note: If any of these do not solve your problem, see the other topics listed in Troubleshooting. Troubleshooting 148
