Otherwise, if the printer is not working properly or if the print quality is not what you expect,
try the following steps first.
• Check that the power cord is securely connected to the printer and plugged into a live
electrical outlet.
• Check that the Power (green) light is on and not blinking. When the printer is first turned
on, it takes approximately 45 seconds to warm up.
• Check that no other lights on the control panel are on or blinking. If lights are on or
blinking, see
• Check that you can print a printer configuration page. See
• Check that the USB or parallel cable between the printer and the computer or the
HP Jetdirect print server is connected securely and functioning properly. To check the
network connection, press the
TEST
button on the print server. An HP Jetdirect
configuration page should print. See the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator’s
Guide that came on the Starter CD to interpret the messages on the page.
• Check that no error messages appear on the computer screen.
• Check that you do not have too many programs open when your are trying to perform a
task. Close programs that are not in use, or restart the computer before attempting the
task again.
After you have tried these steps, see the following sections for information about more specific
