Lost power I have been printing on my printer all morning..now it has lost power..and I checked all the cords and plug ins...does this model have a reset button?

Something is causing the printer to reset and start again. The unintelligible stuff is caused by the printer having lost its setup. The most likely problem is that the printer is losing power. Check the power cord at the printer, at the brick (if it comes apart there) and at the outlet. If you are using a power strip check it. If all seems ok, try plugging the printer into another outlet without a power strip and/or in another room. If that doesn't fix it, more expert help is required by a service person.

You can first try reseting your printer by unplugging all the cords for 30min. and then plug it back.
Please do a deep cleaning, align the print head, and also do a nozzle check.If you still have the problem then replace the print head.

Good Luck!

Try unplugging the power cord and the PC cord for 2 minutes then plug the AC back in before connecting the PC. If that doesn't work, unplug the AC cord again and hold the power switch on the printer in while plugging the AC cord back in.If it doesn't work, try performing a semi-reset:

Remove both the cartridges and then perform the reset.

Perform a semi-full reset on your PSC 2200 by holding the button
combination given below, while plugging in the power cord.

CAUTION: A semi-full reset will reset or clear the following
information:

* Return the user settings to the factory defaults.
* Delete language and country settings on some models.
* Fax logs.
* Fax headers.
* Fax speed dial information.

Press and hold "#" and "6" buttons while on the front panel keypad,
plugging in the power cord.

Now insert the cartridges back. Try printing a test page from the printer itself now. If it's OK, it means that the printer is OK. If not, there could be a hardware problem with the printer.
Good luck!

Hi,

First, Make sure that the printer is properly plugged in to a working electrical outlet and that it is hooked up to the computer as indicated. There should be two separate cables running out of your Dell 924, a power cord and a USB cable that communicates with the computer. If both of these aren't plugged in, then the machine will not function properly.

If the lights on your printer aren't working then it means one of two different things:

• Printer has an internal electrical problem and needs repair or
• Printer isn't receiving power from the outlet or power cord

Check whether, are you getting power from the socket by connecting some other component..If it works check whether the Power cord is propwerly connected, try pressing the power cord once..

If not the circuit may be damaged, Which cant be repaired inhome, you have to return to DELL service center and make it repaired

Please leave me comment, if you need further assistance
