Understanding printer messages

Status messages

Your printer displays three types of messages: status mes- sages, attendance messages, and service messages. Status messages provide information about the current state of the printer. They require no action on your part. Attendance messages alert you to printer problems that require your intervention. Service messages also alert you to problems that require intervention. However the printer will stop printing and the errors are non-recoverable. It may be pos- sible to power the printer off and back on to temporarily recover from the service message error condition.

A table listing the status messages follows. See “Atten- dance messages” on page 150 for a listing of the atten- dance messages and what you need to do to respond to them. See “Service messages” on page 158 for a listing of the service messages and what you need to do to correct them.
