Understanding printer messages

Your printer displays two types of messages: status mes- sages and attendance messages. Status messages provide information about the current state of the printer. They require no action on your part. Attendance messages, on the other hand, alert you to printer problems that require your intervention.

A table listing the status messages follows. See “Atten- dance messages” on page 103 for a listing of the atten- dance messages and what you need to do to respond to them.
