Perform a Physical Hard Reset:

• Turn on the printer (if not already on).
• Wait until the printer becomes idle and silent.
• Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer while it is still on.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Wait for at least 60 seconds.
• Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and printer.
• Turn the printer back on.

Check for Hidden Paper Jams / Physical Errors:

• If the Resume light is blinking, it indicates a jam or internal error.
• Input Tray:
  • Remove any stuck paper carefully using both hands to avoid tearing.
• Inspect Internal Path:
  • Tilt the printer back and check for small paper bits or debris.
• Press the Resume button to attempt automatic error clearing.

Check Printer Connections:

• Connect the USB cable directly to the computer (avoid USB hubs).
• Try a different USB cable to rule out cable issues.

Take care and have an amazing day!
