HP 72SI, 98SI manual Tip, Overview

User Assistance The control panel provides various forms of online user assistance:

The ? button provides an explanation of the current function, with some guidance for what to do next.

The ATTN (Attention) key blinks on the control panel when the printer detects an error condition, potential error condition, or when you make a change that suggests recalibration or other action to ensure best print quality. There are two types of ATTN messages:

◆Actions — the printer has detected an error condition that stopped printing or will prevent printing from starting. You must correct the error before the printer will be ready to print. When the printer senses that the error condition has been addressed, the Action will be deleted the next time the ATTN key is pressed.

◆Warnings — the printer has detected a condition that, if left unaddressed, could result in substandard prints or a condi- tion that will require an action before printing can continue. Any action on your part is optional, printing is not inter- rupted for a Warning message.

When the printer issues one of these messages, the ATTN key will blink, and an alert beep will sound (unless disabled, see page 2-13). Press the ATTN key to display a list of message titles, and select a title to display a detailed cause-and-recovery screen.

If you choose to not correct a Warning condition and resume printing, the ATTN key will remain displayed, but will not blink until the printer issues a new Warning or Action message. The messages can be dismissed by correcting the condition, or by pressing the applicable key on the detail screen.

Tip	See page 2-13 for instructions for choosing an Expert
	or Novice mode for displaying these messages
	(Expert mode routes most messages to the Actions &
	Warnings menu), and for disabling or enabling the
	audible alarm. See the table beginning on page B-8
	for a list of errors and recovery procedures.
