Hello,

Half circle = ready to print (when light is on )

! mark in a triangle = Attention light : Indicates printer media input tray is empty, print cartridge door is open, print cartridge is missing, or other errors. See Printer information pages for more information.
( light on means that there's an error )
piled circles = toner indicator (light on means toner ("ink") is low, needs replacement)

There's a help page for these light indicators, just in case other lights are / come on, see:

The symbol for toner low is a box, without a top, with an arrow made of dots pointing up. Insert an new print cartriage.

I thought my printer died on me, but it turned out it was a simple paper jam. The whole printer just locked up because of a paper jam! All I had to do was open the top compartment, remove the toner and get rid of the paper jam

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.

Hi, The problem your having with the two circles and the squiggly line mean you have a paper jam. Hope this helps!!!!

Hi, If that is the only light on (blinking or not), then you probably have a paper jam or a door open somewhere on the printer. Make sure both doors are closed securely at the back of the printer. Make sure that the toner cartridge is secured inside the printer. You not only have to just insert it, but you have to insert it until you can feel it lock into place. Make sure there is no paper jammed inside the printer or inside the rear doors. If you have a blinking light AND the power light is ON, press the GO button. This is also a sign that a complex print job was sent that max'd out the installed memory. Hope this helps!
