Printing Does Not Start
Check1 Make sure printer is securely plugged in and press ON button to turn it on.
The ON lamp flashes while the printer is initializing. Wait until the ON lamp stops flashing and remains lit.
Note
• If you are printing large data such as photos or other graphics, printing may take longer to start. The ON
lamp flashes while the computer is processing data and sending it to the printer. Wait until printing starts.
Check2 Make sure printer is properly connected to computer.
When the printer is connected to your computer with a USB cable, check the following:
• If you are using a relay device such as a USB hub, disconnect it, connect the printer directly to the
computer, and retry the printing. If printing starts normally, there is a problem with the relay device. Contact
the vendor of the relay device.
• There could also be a problem with the USB cable. Replace the USB cable and retry the printing.
Check3 If printing from a computer, delete unnecessary print jobs.
• For Windows:
Deleting the Undesired Print Job

Note
• To make the printer the one selected by default, select Set as Default Printer.
