Error Codes
Recoverable Error Codes
A recoverable error is one that is defined as an anomaly that will cause the printer to
pause until the user resolves the error.
The other two types of errors are: warning errors, which will highlight a potential
problem to the user but does not cause the printer to stop operation, and unrecoverable
errors, which are generally irresolvable by the user and will cause the printer to stop
functioning altogether.
Also note that if the printer is in the Menu state, error messages will not be displayed
until the printer is back in the Ready state.
Note: Brackets [ ] in the Message column indicate variables.
