Printer Status lights

| The Ready (green) light is on and the printer is ready to print. No action is needed. Pressing | (GO) prints | ||
| a Demo page. Pressing | (GO) and | (CANCEL JOB) simultaneously prints a Configuration page and a | |
Supplies Status page, as well as an HP Jetdirect page if an HP Jetdirect print server card is installed.
Processing
The Ready light is blinking. The printer is receiving or processing data.
Pressing 
(CANCEL JOB) cancels the current job. One or two pages might print as the printer clears the print job. The printer returns to the Ready state (Ready light on) after the job has been canceled.
Attention error
The Attention light is blinking in these situations:
The top cover is open.
The printer is out of paper.
The printer has a jam.
For the first cause, close the top cover. For the second cause, load paper. For the last cause, open and close the top cover after you resolve the problem. If the problem is not resolved, the Attention light continues to blink.
Interaction state
The Go light is blinking. The top cover has been opened and then closed, or you pressed
(ROTATE CAROUSEL). Pressing 
(GO) returns the printer to the Ready state. If you do not press
(GO), the printer automatically returns to the Ready state after approximately 10 seconds. Pressing 
(ROTATE CAROUSEL) brings another print cartridge to the top position.
