Error Indicators
Certain problems are identified by the control panel lights.
When your printer stops operating or the lights are on or
flashing unexpectedly, see the following descriptions of panel
light patterns and the corrective actions you should take.
The Paper Out
light is on.
No paper is loaded in the printer. Load paper in the sheet
feeder; then press the
Load/Eject
button to turn off the
Paper
Out
light. The printer resumes printing.
If paper is loaded in the printer, it may not be loaded properly;
remove it and reinsert it gently straight up and down.
