Bottom Two Lights Flashing

Was printing recently and paper tray ran empty. Then cartridges jammed to the right side and bottom two lights flashed continuously, in spite of disconnecting power, restart, etc. Finally, in attempt to change ink cartridges, pushed down on housing for ink cartridges and heard a click. They were jammed in the far right position. Restarted printer and all worked fine. Not very techy, but it worked!

2006 ford escape.. #1. abs light on & stays on. #2. 4wd light comes on,flashes 8 times then gos off

Changing the sensors &/or tone ring may work temporarily but it won't last. I have a 2005 and have had it done and it kept happening. Had it serviced at dealer, asked dealer how to fix it or make light go out and on and on....after I think 5 yrs. it is still on. It hasn't affected my vehicle as far as I can tell. Comes on blinks 8 times, goes off....drive another 8/10ths of a mile and it comes back on, flashes eight times...and so it goes tidily bomMust be an Escape kinda thing.

I have a 2005 Saturn Relay. Everytime we fill-up the tank, the gas gauge will stay on empty and the low fuel light will come on. Finally, after about 30 min of driving the gauge will slowly go up and...

Pick up a diagnostics module with reset capabilities, plug it in to the port below the steering column and reset the error codes. This will reset the sending unit and it should read correctly after the rest. I had a similar problem and this inexpensive solution fixed the issue. Saved or $500.00 in repair and diagnostics.

Kyocera Ecosys FS 920

There are actually some certain meaning on the red light and green light showing different information to user. The summaries are:
1) Green On, Red Off = Printer Ready.
2) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Fast-Flashing = Printer warm up.
3) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Off = Printer off-line.
4) Green Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Processing Data.
5) Green Off, Red On = Cover Opened, Toner Empty or Developer Unit / Drum unit missing.
6) Green Off, Red Fast-Flashing = Paper Jam or waiting for jam reset.
7) Green Off, Red Slow-Flashing = Paper Empty or Paper tray is not inserted.
8) Green Off, Red Off = Printer power is off.
9) Green Very-Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Printer in sleep mode.
10) Green (any condition above), Red Slow-Flashing = Toner low or paper empty.

So what is your printer condition? Better know what is going on your printer so can solve the problem.

Printing

From what you say, I would think that the first problem would be with one of your ink cartridges. Have you replaced any of them recently? If so, open your printer and make sure that they are all inserted fully and seated properly. Other causes can be dirt on the contact surfaces, the gold part with the little dots on it. Sometimes if you use a refilled cartridge, the printer thinks that it is the empty cartridge and will still give you an error. I would start with these fixes. If they don't work, please reply.
