Understanding control panel messages

The tables in this section explain common messages that might appear on the control panel display.

Within each table, the messages and their meanings are listed in alphabetical order, with numbered messages listed at the end of the tables.

●If you see persistent messages requesting that you load a tray, or if a message indicates that a previous print job is still in the product’s memory, press START to print or press STOP to clear the job from memory.

●If a message persists after you complete all of the recommended actions, contact an HP-authorized service or support provider (see “HP customer care service and support” on page 107).

Not all messages are described in this guide (many are self-explanatory), but are addressed on the product pages in the embedded Web server.

The product generates two types of errors:

●temporary errors that you can correct

●equipment errors, which are usually generated by equipment failure and require action by service personnel
