Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Ensure the lid is completely closed.
  2. Power off and unplug the printer.
  3. Check the glass area for any debris.
  4. Plugin and wait for initialization.

Maintenance and Prevention

Dust-free environments are best. Clean rollers with a damp, lint-free cloth periodically.
