Printing Does Not Start

Check1

Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged in, then press the ON button

to turn the printer on.

While the POWER lamp is flashing, the printer is initializing. Wait until the POWER lamp stops flashing and
remains lit.

Note

• When printing large data such as a photo or graphics, it may take longer to start printing. While the

POWER lamp is flashing, the computer is processing data and sending it to the printer. Wait until printing
starts.

Check2

Make sure that the printer is connected to your computer properly.

When the printer is connected to your computer with a USB cable, make sure that the USB cable is securely
plugged in to the printer and the computer, then check the followings:

• If you are using a relay device such as a USB hub, disconnect it, connect the printer directly to the

computer, and try printing again. If printing starts normally, there is a problem with the relay device. Consult
the reseller of the relay device for details.

• There could also be a problem with the USB cable. Replace the USB cable and try printing again.

When you use the printer over LAN, make sure that the printer is set up to be used over network correctly.
