Understanding Operator Messages

This section explains the 3 classes of operator messages and lists the messages that you are likely to see in each class.

There are 3 classes of operator messages:

•Warning messages

•Status messages

•Error messages

If the printer needs to display a message from more than one class, it uses the following display priority:

Priority	Message
Highest	Error
Medium	Status
Lowest	Warning

For example, if the printer sends an error message while a status message is displayed, the error message replaces the status message on the display panel.

Understanding Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to an upcoming problem. When an operator warning occurs, printing continues and the Attention light flashes. Press Enter to see the message on the display panel.

If more than one warning message is pending at one time, you see the first warning message with a (+) character to the right of the message. You can use the Menu Scrolling push buttons to scroll up and down the list of messages.

List of Warning Messages

The table on page 7–6lists warning messages that you may see, gives a brief description of the problem, and tells you what to do to fix it. When you are instructed to call for service, call 1-800-358-6661.See “Requesting Service” on page xiii for further information.
