Do not overload the paper trays. Both paper trays hold up to

250 sheets of plain paper or other print material measuring

0.98" (25 mm) in thickness (whichever is less).

Load paper properly.

Do not use paper that is curled or crumpled.

Always use paper that conforms with those listed in the Printer

Specifications section.

Always stack paper neatly when printing on both sides of the

page (manual duplex).

Unexpected Printer Shutdown

Check the power

Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and to

a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The LED on the

front panel of the printer should be green. Try turning the printer

OFF, then ON again.

Check the printer's vents

If the printer's vents are covered, and the printer overheats, it

automatically turns off. Make sure the vents are not covered and

the printer is in a cool, dry location.

Nothing is Printed

Be patient

Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or

color photos take longer to begin printing. The LED blinks green

when the printer is processing information.

Check the power

Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and to

a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The LED on the

front panel of the printer should be green. Try turning the printer

Check the paper

Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the tray and that the

paper is not jammed in the printer.

Check the ink cartridges and printheads

installed. Properly close the printhead cover and printhead
