Printer is no longer working - it may be because of it

To use a printer, it must be set up and connected correctly. However, if it no longer comes on, it may be due to a faulty power supply. In this practical tip we will show you what you can do about the error.

Printer is no longer working - it may be because of it

Just follow the instructions below to turn the printer back on:

• Connect the printer's AC adapter directly to a working electrical outlet. Problems can arise when using power strips.
• At the same time, you need to make sure that the power adapter is compatible with the printer. Take a look at the power supply and the printer - the voltage specifications must be identical here.
• If you are unsure, you should generally only use the printer's original cable, as other cables may cause problems.
• In many cases, it can already help if you disconnect the plug of the power supply for about a minute and then try again.
• Also take a look at the connector and make sure you have properly connected the power cord to the printer.
• If you still cannot start the printer despite these tips, there may be a major defect that you cannot fix yourself.
• In this case, professional repairs must be carried out by a specialist. If a repair can no longer be carried out, the complete printer must be replaced.
