Control Panel Tutorial
Message Display (LCD)
The message display uses a liquid-crystal display representing status and
errors by two lines of sixteen characters. In operating mode, it may show:
• What the printer is doing
• Whether the printer is ready to print
• When paper should be added
• When paper should be manually inserted
• When the toner bottle needs to be replaced
• When the print unit needs to be replaced
• An error message condition such as paper jam
Important:
A "Ready" message means the printer has no data to print without any
errors and the
READY
button is not pressed. "Not Ready" means the
printer detected an error or the
READY
button was pressed in the Ready
state.
Error messages inform you of conditions requiring your attention, such as
TRAYn PAPER OUT
,
COVER OPEN
, or
PAPER JAMn
. They also warn
you of hardware problems, such as
FUSER FAILURE
or
BD CYCLE
ERROR
. The
TONER LOW
message informs you that the toner bottle needs
replacement. See Chapter 6 for a complete list of messages and
explanations.
In tray select mode or MFF paper size mode, the message display shows
the selected tray or the selected paper size respectively. In menu mode, the
message display shows menu items and option selections. These modes
are explained later in this chapter.
