   • If there are any print jobs in the queue, cancel them.

3. Press and Hold the Power Button:

   • Press and hold the power button on the printer. Keep it pressed until the printer turns off completely.

4. Disconnect Power Cord:

   • Once the printer is off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.

5. Wait for 10-15 Seconds:

   • Wait for about 10-15 seconds to allow the printer's internal components to reset.
