- If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
- After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet ( not a surge protector or battery backup ).
- Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
- The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn’t, turn it on with the power button.
