Welcome to Fixya
You got a weird problem there. Blinking power and resume lights means that the carriage is stalled. Try the solution below:
1. Press the Resume button on the front panel of the product.
2. If the carriage remains stalled, disconnect the power cord from the back of the product, wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect the power cord.
Please click here for reference.
Thank you for using Fixya!
