Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I reset over WiFi?
No. Low-level service commands require a stable USB cable connection between your computer and printer.
What if my printer has other errors?
If ink and paper lights blink simultaneously (together), it indicates a paper jam or scanner fault. Alternating blinking specifically indicates the waste ink pad is full.
