Nothing Prints

If you have sent a print job and nothing prints, try these solutions:

• Make sure your product is turned on.

• Make sure any interface cables are connected securely at both ends.

• If you connected your product to a USB hub, make sure it is a first-tier hub. If it still does not print,

connect your product directly to your computer instead of the hub.

• Run a product check to see if a test page prints. If the test page prints, check to see if your product

software is installed correctly.

• In Windows, make sure your product is selected as the default printer.

• In Windows, clear any stalled print jobs from the Windows Spooler:
