Set the amount of time that a clearable warning appears on

WARNINGS=JOB

ON

the printer control panel.

 

 

JOB: Warning messages appear on the control panel until

 

 

the end of the job from which they were generated.

 

 

ON: Warning messages appear on the control panel until

 

 

[Go] is pressed.

 

 

 

AUTO CONTINUE= ON

ONOFF

Determine how the printer reacts to errors.

ON: If an error occurs that prevents normal printing, the message appears, and the printer will go offline for 10 seconds before returning online.

OFF: If an error occurs that prevents printing, the message will remain on the display and the printer will remain offline until [Go] is pressed.

If the printer is on a network, you will probably want to turn AUTO CONTINUE to ON.

Note: This setting has no effect on some errors that prevent normal printing, such as jams.

Determine how the printer behaves when toner is low. The

LOW=CONTINUE

STOP

TONER LOW message first appears when the toner cartridge

printed.)

LOW message appears.
