Status and Error Messages

The control panel gives you two types of information: status messages and error messages. Status messages appear on the display during the normal operation of your printer. They indicate the printer’s current status. When an error occurs, an error message appears to tell you what is wrong.

This section lists and describes in alphabetical order possible status and error messages and their meanings. You can correct most problems causing the error messages easily by following the suggestions provided below.

Chapter references are included where necessary to help you find more information about each message.

You can press ON LINE to print the current page in the printer’s memory, but your printout may be incomplete. If this message appears often, install an optional memory board as described in Chapter 4.
