If your printer will not power on, check the following items:

  • Make sure the printer is plugged in and that both power switches are in the on position.

  • Make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet using the power cord that came with the printer.

    Important: Do not plug the printer into an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), power bar or extension cord.  Power issues may occur causing the printer to not function properly. Make sure the power cord is plugged directly into a wall outlet that is within specifications.

  • Make sure to use a power source within the specifications for the printer.

  • Try a different power outlet to make sure the current outlet is not malfunctioning.

If the above does not resolve the issue, perform the following steps to perform the Full Power Off / On prodecure:

  1. Press the Power Switch below the Control Panel to the Off position. A warning message will be displayed on the Touch Screen that the printer is powering off.
