Understanding Operator Error Messages

When you see an error message on the display panel, printing stops and the Attention light flashes. You see the error message until the error is resolved or until another error is encountered.

Table of Operator Error Messages

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

Note: The operator action most likely to solve the problem is listed first.
