Inspect the ends of the memory device for dirt or material that closes a hole or
spoils a metal contact. Clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth and small amounts
of isopropyl alcohol.

Make sure that the memory device is working correctly by testing it with other
devices.

Check the memory device slot

Make sure that the memory device is fully inserted into the correct slot. For more
information, see Insert a memory device.

Remove the memory device (when the light is not blinking) and shine a flashlight
into the empty slot. See if any of the small pins inside are bent. When the printer
is off, you can straighten slightly bent pins by using the tip of a thin, retracted
ballpoint pen. If a pin has bent in such a way that it touches another pin, replace
the memory card reader or have the printer serviced. For more information, see
HP support.
