Basic Printer Problems
NOTE:
Ethernet connection is available only for Dell C1760nw Color Printer.
Some printer problems can be easy to resolve. If a problem occurs with your printer, check each of the following:
• The power cable is connected to the printer, and to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
• The printer is turned on.
• The electrical outlet is not turned off at any switch or breaker.
• Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.
If you have checked all of the above and still have a problem, turn off the printer, wait for 10 seconds, and then turn
on the printer. This often fixes the problem.
NOTE:
If error messages are displayed on the operator panel or on your computer screen, follow the on-screen instructions to
resolve the printer problems. For details about error messages and error codes, see "Understanding Printer Messages" on
