The printer is plugged in but will not turn on
Solution
•
The printer might have drawn too much power. Unplug the printer power cord from the back of the printer.
Wait about 30 seconds, and then plug the cord back in. Turn on the printer.
• The printer might be plugged into a power strip that is turned off. Turn on the power strip, and then turn on
the printer.
• The power cord could be defective.
I do not know where to insert the printheads
Solution: Make sure the blue printhead assembly cover is open all the way. Pull the blue handle forward to
unlatch it, and then raise the cover all the way. The printhead slots will then be visible. For more information,
see the Insert the printheads section of the animated Quick Start Tutorial.
I cannot remove the output tray
Solution
•
Pull the output tray straight towards you. Do not lift the forward edge upwards as you pull. It may take some
force to pull the tray out.
• Make sure you are not pulling the main tray (beneath the output tray) as you pull the output tray out.
Nothing happens when I press the Resume button
Solution: Make sure all four printheads and all eight ink cartridges are installed correctly. Check that both
doors and the specialty media tray are closed. Wait for the Resume light to start flashing quickly, and then try
pressing the Resume button again. If the printer calibration does not begin, there might be a paper jam. For
more information on clearing paper jams, see
Error message: There is a paper jam. Clear jam then press the
Resume button on the printer .
