1. Paper Jam Error

Solution:
- Check if the printer is set as default
- Make sure it’s connected (USB or Wi-Fi)
- Restart both your PC and printer
3. Ink/Toner Empty Message (Even When It’s Full)
Solution:
- Reinsert the cartridge
- Clean the cartridge head
- Reset the ink counter (refer to printer model guide)
4. Wi-Fi Printer Not Connecting
Solution:
- Reconnect to the Wi-Fi network
- Check if your router is working
- Re-add the printer using your computer’s printer settings
