Ready and Error Lights

off or flashing, indicates your printer status, as described below.

indicates what type of error has occurred and offers you a possible
solution. Look through this section to find the kind of problem
you have, then try the recommended solutions in the order they

If the problem remains after trying the suggestions in this section,
