Hi,

As you give print command check what is the error msg flashes on ur PC.
Next check whether any paper piece is jammed inside the printer, dust it with Airblower so that cleans out.
Third check the ink levels in both color and black cartdriges.

I believe that 7 amber flashes refer to a cartridge error. Check that the cartridge is seated correctly.

-- there may be a problem with a print cartridge
1. Verify that the correct print cartridges are installed.

if all lights are flashing
-- the printer may need to be restarted

2. Press the Power button to turn off the printer.

4. Reconnect the printer to the power source.Press the Power button to turn on the printer.

If you turn off the printer and turn it back on, do you get any noises, ie motor noises, or does it instantly go to all lights flashing?
If you get no noises this usually indicates a board fault and you should look for a new printer.

From the OKI site, I found this information. My problem is a Flash 2 Blink, which is a problem with the cover or minor error, whatever that means. I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
