misfed. Check your computer screen for messages. See Chapter 2 for
instructions on loading the sheet feeder, or “Paper Is Jammed” and “Paper

The light is off. To conserve energy, the printer turns itself off if it’s left idle
for some time (usually about 5 minutes). If you suspect a problem, press
the power button. If the light remains off, check to make sure the power
cord is plugged in properly and the outlet has power. If you can’t turn the
printer light on, see the information about service and support that comes
with the printer.

See the suggestions in “Speed” in Chapter 3.
If you have a Macintosh IIfx, Macintosh Quadra 900, or Quadra 950
computer, check the Serial Switch control panel. Make sure the setting is
“Compatible.”
Note: The printer automatically takes a few moments to clean the print head
when it is plugged back in or after more than three days of inactivity.
