If you have problems turning on the printer, check the possible causes listed in the table below.
If the printer will not start after checking these items, turn the printer off, disconnect the power
cord from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer or an authorized service provider.
No Ready Message
After warming up, the printer control panel displays the text “Ready,” indicating that the printer
is ready to print. If the printer does not show this message, but shows an error message instead,
refer to “Warning Messages and Error Messages” on page 5-31 to determine the appropriate
action for the specific error message that is shown. If the printer does not display either the
“Ready” message or an error message, contact your retailer or sales representative.
