I just tried to do a printhead clean but can't get past page 1 of setup menu having been able to a few days ago.  Can anyone suggest a solution please?

Display issue on the printer. Is that right?

 

I would like to definitely help you.

 

I recommend you follow the steps below and check if that helps.

  • Unplug the power cable from the back of the printer while the printer is on.
  • Then without connecting the power cable press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
  • While holding the power button, plug the power cable and continue to hold the power button for 5 more seconds.
  • IF the printer doesn’t power on, restart the printer manually and check if that helps.

Hope this helps
