50.4 Error Message

This error is also associated with power supply but in the case of HP LaserJet printers only. To solve this problem, you first need to disconnect the printer from UPS and then disconnect it from a power strip and plug it into a wall outlet. If you are using a laser printer, you should never plug it into UPS, because there are chances that UPS gets damaged due to the power. But in case, you don’t file any problem with UPS, you must look at all the component in the printer.
