Step 1. Printer Not Responding
Check Connections: Ensure all cables (USB or Ethernet, depending on your setup) are securely connected to both the printer and the computer or network switch/router. If using a wireless connection verify that the Wi-Fi is enabled on the printer and it is connected to the correct network.

Step 2. Paper Jams
Clear Jammed Paper: Open the printer panels and carefully remove any jammed paper. Check the paper path and input trays. Avoid pulling jammed paper out from the front cover if possible as this may cause damage to the printer. Always pull it in the direction of the paper path.
Check Paper Tray and Load: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly not overloaded and aligned with the guides.
Step 3. Poor Print Quality
Check Ink or Toner: Ensure the toner is not low or empty. Replace if necessary. Sometimes shaking the toner cartridge before inserting it can improve print quality by distributing the toner powder evenly.
