Printing Does Not Start

If printing fails, check the following:

Check the machine's power.

  • The [Power] key is not lit.

    Turn the machine on.

    See Turning On/Off the Power.

  • The power indicator does not light up or blink despite the [Power] key being pressed.

    Check whether the power cord is plugged into the receptacle properly.

    Plug another appliance that works into the receptacle to determine whether the receptacle is all right.

If the problem persists, unplug the power cord and contact your sales or service representative.
