Control-panel message types
Four types of control-panel messages indicate the status of or problems with the printer.
Message type Description
Status messages Status messages reflect the current state of the printer. Messages that indicate normal printer
operation require no interaction. When the printer is ready, it is not busy, and has no pending warning
messages, the status message Ready appears if the printer is online.
Warning messages Warning messages indicate data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with the
Ready or status messages and remain until you press
. Some warning messages are clearable.
If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB on the printer CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, then the next
print job clears these messages.
Error messages Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing
a jam.
Some error messages are auto-continuable. If AUTO CONTINUE=ON is set on the menus, then the
printer will continue after the error message appears for 10 seconds.
NOTE Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides
the auto-continue feature. For example, pressing Stop pauses printing and offers the option
to cancel the print job.
Critical-error messages Critical error messages indicate a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning
the printer off and then on. The AUTO CONTINUE setting does not affect these messages. If a critical
error persists, service is required.
