The power does not turn on.
• Check whether the mains voltage is correct.
• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to both the
printer and the mains power outlet.
• Make sure that the power outlet is functional. If not so, use other
outlet.
• Turn the power off. Wait a minute and then turn the printer on
again. If the printer still has no power, contact your dealer.

• Make sure that the Online indicator is lit.
• If you use the interface cable, make sure it is securely connected
to both the printer and the computer.

problem is caused by: the interface, the computer, incorrect printer
settings, or incorrect software settings.
• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the
same as the emulation selected on the printer.
