Status LED with the toner cartridge messages
The status of toner cartridges is indicated by the status LED and the LCD display. If the toner cartridge is low or needs to be changed, the status LED turns red and the display shows the message. However the arrow mark (or marks) shows which color toner is of concern or may be installed with a new cartridge.
Example:
The above example shows the magenta toner cartridge status indicated by the arrow. Check the message to find out what the problem is and how to solve it. See page 7.7 to browse the detailed information on error messages.
