Try these steps: 

Power Reset the Printer:

  • Ensure the printer is turned on.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
  • Wait for at least 30 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.

Check for Paper Jams:

  • Open all accessible printer doors and trays.
  • Inspect for any jammed paper or foreign objects.
  • Remove any obstructions carefully to avoid damaging internal components.
