Using the Error Indicators
You can identify many common printer problems using the lights on the control panel. If your printer stops working and one or more control panel lights are on or flashing or the printer beeps, use the following table to diagnose and fix the problem. If you cannot fix your problem using this table, see Problems and Solutions.
Note:|
The printer beeps once if you press a control panel button when the corresponding function is not available.
