Quick Diagnosis

If no paper jam is present, this error is purely electronic. Listen for standard start-up sounds; if the printer remains silent and stuck on this code, proceed to the reset.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Disconnect the power cord while the printer is on.
  2. Unplug any connected data cables (USB/Ethernet).
  3. Allow the printer to sit for 60 seconds to drain static electricity.
  4. Connect to a grounded wall outlet and switch on.

Prevention and Maintenance

Always use a surge-protected power strip. Regularly check for HP firmware updates via the HP Smart app.

When to call a technician

If the reset doesn't work, there may be a permanent hardware failure on the logic board that warrants a warranty claim.
