Hi @Wollo,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The flashing yellow light on your HP 6400e printer usually indicates a problem that needs attention. Here are some general steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue.

 

  • Check for Paper Jams: Ensure there are no paper jams in the printer. Open all access doors and check for any stuck paper. If you find any, carefully remove it.
  • Check Ink or Toner Levels: Verify the ink or toner levels in your printer. Low levels can trigger warning lights. Replace cartridges if necessary.
  • Inspect for Hardware Issues: Make sure all printer components are properly seated. Check for any loose cables or connections. Power off the printer, unplug it, and then plug it back in.
  • Restart the Printer: Turn off the printer, wait for a few minutes, and then turn it back on. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor issues.
  • Update Printer Drivers: Ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your printer. Visit the HP website to download and install the most up-to-date drivers.
  • Reset the Printer: Some printers have a reset button or sequence. Consult your printer's manual for instructions on how to reset it.
  • Check for Error Messages: Look for any error messages on the printer's display panel or on your computer. These messages can provide clues about the nature of the issue.
  • Run a Printer Self-Test: Many printers have a self-test or diagnostic mode. Consult your printer manual for instructions on how to run a self-test. This can help identify specific issues.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
