Make sure that all packing tape and material have been removed from outside
and inside the printer.
•
Make sure that the printer is loaded with paper.

Make sure that no lights are on or blinking except the Ready light, which should

panel.
Check the hardware connections

order.

Make sure that the power cord is connected securely to both the printer and to
a working power outlet.
Check the ink cartridges
Make sure that all of the ink cartridges are firmly installed and aligned in their correct,
