Interpret control-panel messages

Control-panel message types

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

Message type	Description
Status messages	Status messages reflect the current state of the product. They inform you of normal product operation
	and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the product changes. Whenever
	the product is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the Ready status message
	appears if the product 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 you press the OK button. Some warning messages are
	clearable. If the Clearable Warnings menu in the Display Settings menu is set to the Job
	option , 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 the Continuable Events menu in the Display
	Settings menu is set to the Auto-Continueoption, the product continues 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 product failure. You can clear some of these messages by
	turning the product off and then on. These messages are not affected by the Auto-Continuesetting.
	If a critical error persists, service is required.

Control-panel messages

The product provides robust control panel messaging. When a message appears on the control panel, follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue. If the product displays an “Error” or “Attention” message, and no steps are shown to resolve the issue, turn the product off then on. Contact HP support if you continue to experience issues with the product.
