￿￿Secondary light patterns for Attention with Ability to Continue state

Light pattern

Error and recommended action

20 Insufficient Memory error

Attention light is on. The printer memory is full.

Press (GO) to resume printing. If you lose some data, try to free some printer memory by removing any unnecessary fonts, macros, or any data currently in printer memory. If you continue to lose data, you might need to add more printer memory. For a temporary solution, simplify the image by changing to another image type, such as raster.

41.3 Unexpected Size error or 41.x Printer error

The Ready light is on.

Load the correct size of paper. If the correct size is loaded, press (GO).

￿If printing does not resume, open the top cover, remove the imaging drum, and check for a jam inside the printer.

40 Bad Transmission error

The Attention light, Ready light, and Go light are on. Press (GO) to try to print a portion of the job.

 

If the printer is connected to the network, make sure the cable is securely connected between the

 

HP Jetdirect print server card and the network port.

￿

If the printer is directly connected to a computer, the cable between the printer and computer has a

bad connection or the cable is of poor quality. Disconnect the cable and reconnect it. Make sure you

￿

are using a high-quality USB or IEEE-1284 compliant, size-B parallel cable. See “Accessories and

ordering information” on page 24
