Control-panel message types

Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the printer.

Message type	Description

Status messages	Status messages reflect the current state of the printer. They inform you of normal printer operation
	and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the printer changes. Whenever
	the printer is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready
	appears if the printer is online.

Warning messages	Warning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with
	the Ready or status messages and remain until the	button is pressed. Some warning messages
	are clearable. If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB on the printer CONFIGURE DEVICE menu,
	the next print job clears these messages.

Error messages	Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing
	a jam.

Some error messages are auto-continuable. If AUTO CONTINUE=ON is set on the menus, the printer will continue normal operation after an auto-continuable error message appears for 10 seconds.

NOTE Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides the auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For example, pressing the Stop button pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print job.

Critical-error messages Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning the printer off and then on. These messages are not affected by the AUTO CONTINUE setting. If a critical error persists, service is required.

The following table lists and describes control-panel messages.
