[SOLVED] CLP 300N printer not starting up ?

[PGamer]

Hey guys,

I have a problem with my Samsung CLP 300N printer. When I switch the power button to ON, it starts, but mechanism inside never stops. Green light is blinking. When it worked properly it stopped after 10-15 seconds.

I would appreciate it if someone gets an idea what it could be wrong.

What "mechanism" and what exactly is it doing: e.g., continual attempts to paper feed, print head moving back and forth... etc.?

Perhaps a reset will restore proper functioning:

Verify that I found the correct User Manual for your printer.

Review the User Manual to double check configuration settings, inspect and clean. Verify the LED indicators are correct if default or as expected if there were any configuration changes made.

Next, work through the troubleshooting section starting on physically numbered Page 6.1

My recommendation is to check the User Manual etc. first.

Then a reset as a "last resort".
