Thank you for replying to my request.

I solved my issue by following the steps listed below from a solution generated by Flower_Bud on 03-09-2018:

Hard Reset: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

I felt that this process would be unlikely to resolve the issue but it worked.
