properly.
If the power supply is working properly, request service for the printer from your
system administrator.
If the power supply is not functioning, replace it and begin with step 1.
3. Print a test card from the printer front panel. Refer to “Print a Test Card” on page 34 for more

printer.

(USB or network) used when the printer was installed.
