Check the toner level and replace the toner cartridge if it's low or empty. Clean the printer's interior, paying attention to rollers, and ensure paper is loaded correctly.

Paper jam errors persist.

Carefully remove all jammed paper, checking all internal areas, including the paper output tray and rear cover. Ensure the paper type and size are compatible and loaded correctly.

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi network.

Verify that your Wi-Fi router is functioning correctly. Ensure the printer's Wi-Fi is enabled and that you are entering the correct network name (SSID) and password. Try restarting both the printer and the router.
