3. Remove back cover, clean paper sensors.
4. Replace Formatter board.

You can unplug the printer from the wall, then leave it off for about 30 seconds then plug it back in. That should reset the printer, if not read what the message says on the screen, or you may have to navigate through the settings to see the error message.

Remove and reinstall drum / some times will reset drum switch.

Or the drum life has been used. Drum only good for 8 to 10 thousand copies.

nandkjwatson,

Good day!red light flashing causes some problems on your printer.Like empty inks,no paper,hardware error.Be sure to check all ink cartridges if its full and if all chips are good.Be sure to have paper loaded.

ALL LIGHTS FLASHING MEANS THAT YOU PRINTER REQUIR ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMME FROM SERVICE CENTRE.

Here is what HP has on the subject of the triangle light flashing:
1 - Attention Light 2 - Ready Light 3 - Go Light Figure 2: Printer light key 1 - Symbol for light off 2 - Symbol for light on 3 - Symbol for light blinking
Door open, media out, no print cartridge, or media jam

The printer is in an error state that requires operator intervention or help. Check the following:

• The print cartridge door is completely closed.
• Media is loaded.
• The print cartridge is correctly installed in the printer.
• There is no media jam.

Figure 8: Paper jam 13.JJ.NT JAM IN TRAY 1

13.JJ.NT JAM IN TRAY X

The Attention LED is blinking. Check paper loading then open and close top cover.

When there is a jam in tray 1, verify the paper is loaded correctly, open and close the top cover. Pressing GO is ignored.

When there is a jam in tray X, verify the paper is loaded correctly, open and close the top cover. Pressing GO is ignored. These are the error explanations for just the flashing triangle light, there are many more, but none for just the flashing triangle.

If the light pattern is different let me know (other lights on as well)
-Hope this helps.

Error starting with 4 means defective print head.
Error starting with 5 menas defective purge station or cycle problems.

both error series means: you need a new printer...
