The control panel displays the following types of messages:
∙Ready status messages mean the printer is ready to accept data.
∙Printer status messages tell you what the printer is doing at a given time. For example:
PROCESSING JOB FROM TRAY 2
∙Printer attendance messages tell you to perform some action, such as adding paper or clearing a paper jam.
∙Error messages communicate data and print errors. The printer stops printing for ten seconds, displays a message, and then automatically attempts to return to the online state.
∙Service messages communicate a printer failure. Some errors can be cleared by pressing the [Select *] key or by cycling power to the printer (turn power off and then back on). Others stop all operations and require service.
