The all-in-one has no power and no lights are lit on the control panel
z Check the power
Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to both the all-in-one and to a
working power outlet, and that the all-in-one is turned on.
If the power cord is connected to a power strip or surge protection device, make sure
that the power strip or surge protection device is switched on and functioning correctly.
The all-in-one is not responding
z Check the status of the all-in-one
The all-in-one might be coming out of PowerSave mode after a period of inactivity,
which delays processing for a short while. Wait until the all-in-one reaches the READY
state.
Check the control panel for messages. See Control-panel messages for a list and
explanations of all-in-one messages.
z Check the all-in-one setup
Make sure that the ink cartridges, printheads, and print media are loaded correctly.
Make sure that all cords and cables are firmly connected—for example, the power cord
from the all-in-one to the power outlet, the network interface cable (for a network
connection), and the cable from the all-in-one to the computer (for a direct connection).
If you are using a parallel interface connection, make sure that the correct port (LPTx,
where “x” is the port number) is selected and that the all-in-one is connected directly to
the computer. If the all-in-one is connected to a switchbox, make sure that you have
selected the correct switch. Or, connect the all-in-one directly to the computer without
the switchbox.
Make sure that the all-in-one is selected as the current or default device. See the
onscreen Help for your computer operating system for information about setting the
default device.
z Check the power
If the all-in-one is not turned on, press (P
OWER) on the all-in-one. After a brief
startup, the Ready light on the control panel should be a steady green.
