still would not print

The Drum LED continues to blink if the drum counter was not reset when you replaced the drum. To reset the drum follow the instructions below:

  1. Press the cover release button and then open the front cover of the printer.
  2. Press and hold down Go button until all 4 LEDs are lit. Once all 4 LEDs are lit, release the Go button.
  3. Close the front cover.
  4. Make sure that the Drum LED is now off.

Do you have any error messages appearing on the LED screen of your printer?
Or maybe on your PC screen?

Customer Replay

it just says ready

Can you make a photo of your printer so I can see the LED light's indicators?

Customer Replay

Please wait a minute
