Display-message troubleshooting

	The following tables explain the messages that might appear on the control-panel display or in
	the event log. Alphabetical printer messages and their meanings are listed in “Alphabetical
	printer messages” on page 258, and numerical printer messages are listed in “Numerical printer
	messages” on page 274.
Note	Not all messages are described in the tables; the messages that are not listed are self-explanatory.

Status messages

Status messages reflect the current state of the printer. They inform you of normal printer operation and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the printer changes. Whenever the printer is ready, is not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message READY appears if the printer is online.

Warning messages

Warning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with READY or with status messages and continue to appear until the SELECT () button is pressed. If CLEARABLE WARNING is set to JOB in the printer’s configuration menu, these messages are cleared when the next print job is sent to the printer.

	Error messages
	Error messages inform you that an action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing a
	paper jam.
	Some error messages are auto-continuable (these are not critical errors and the printer will
	continue to function). If the printer setting AUTO CONTINUE=ON is used, the error message will
	continue to appear for about 10 seconds and then the printer will resume printing.
Note	Pressing any button while an auto-continuable error message appears on the control-panel
	display overrides the auto-continue feature, and the button’s function will take precedence. For
	example, pressing the CANCEL JOB button will cancel the job.

Critical-error messages

Critical-error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning the printer off and then on. These messages are not affected by the auto-continue setting. If a critical error persists, then service is required.
