Printer not turning On

✅ Step 1: Check Power Connection

  • Ensure the power cable is firmly plugged into both the printer and wall socket.
  • If using a power adapter, check both ends (to the printer and to the wall).
  • Try a different wall outlet.

✅ Step 2: Check Power Switch

  • Ensure the power switch is in the “ON” position.
  • Some models have the switch in an inconspicuous location (back or side).

✅ Step 3: Look for Lights or Sounds

  • If no lights or sounds occur:
    • Unplug everything
    • Wait 10 seconds
    • Reconnect only power cable and turn on
  • If there’s still no response, continue to next step.

✅ Step 4: Try Another Power Cable or Adapter

  • The power cable or adapter may be defective.
  • If possible, test with a known-working compatible adapter (check voltage & amp rating).

🧪 Additional for Zywell Printers:

  • Some Zywell models have a reset switch near the power port—press with a pin if available.
  • Ensure no burn smell or overheating on the adapter.
  • Try disconnecting the USB/Ethernet cable during startup.

🧪 Additional for Epson Printers (e.g., TM-T88 series):

  • Try holding the Feed button while turning it on. If it prints a test page, the issue may be communication, not power.
  • If using a power brick, verify LED on the brick itself (if available).
  • Try a full power reset:
    • Disconnect power cord
    • Hold Power button for 10 seconds
    • Reconnect power and try again

⚠️ If Still Not Turning On:

  • Swap to a different printer station or power outlet.
