Solution
● The printer may need attention. Read the printer screen for instructions.
● The power may be off or there may be a loose connection. Make sure the
power is on, and that the power cord is securely connected.
● You may not have any paper in the Main tray or Photo cassette. Check that
the paper is loaded correctly. For paper-loading instructions, see

–
Turn off the printer, then unplug it from the power source. Clear the
printer of any paper that may be obstructing the paper path. For more
information, see
To clear a paper jam .
– If you were printing labels, make sure a label did not become unglued
from the label sheet while going through the printer.
– If you experience paper jams when using the Photo cassette, make sure
that the photo paper-width guide and the photo paper-length guide fit
close to the edges of the photo paper without bending the paper. Make
sure the Photo cassette is fully engaged by gently pushing the Photo
cassette toward the printer until it stops. If you still have problems, try
loading one sheet of photo paper at a time.
A blank page came out of the printer.
Solution
● You may have begun printing and then cancelled the process. If you
cancelled the process before printing started, the printer may have already
loaded paper in preparation for printing. The next time you print, the printer
will eject the blank page before starting the new printing project.
● Check the ink-level icons on the printer screen. Replace any print cartridges
that are out of ink. For more information, see
Inserting and replacing the print
cartridges .
● If you are trying to print a fax, first save the fax in a graphic format such as
TIFF. Place it in a word processing document and print it from there.
