2. Is the other end of the power cord
plugged properly into the main power
input port on the printer?
3. Is the power cord damaged or broken?
4. Is there electricity in the power outlet
used to power the printer?

the building blown? Is the circuit
breaker turned off?
1. Plug the socket end of the power cord
