Status messages
Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal
operation and require no action to clear them. They change as the state of the device
changes. Whenever the device is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning
messages, the status message READY appears if the device is turned on.
Warning messages
Warning messages inform you of events that require your attention, but they do not
prevent the device from operating. An example of a warning message is a low ink warning.
These messages appear until you resolve the condition.
Error messages
Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding
media or clearing a media jam. These messages are usually accompanied by a blinking
red Attention light. Take the appropriate action to continue printing.
If the error message shows an error code, press the Power button to turn off the device,
and then turn it on again. In most situations, this action solves the problem. If the message
persists, your device might need service. For more information, see
Support and
warranty.
Critical error messages
Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be
cleared by pressing the Power button to turn off the device, and then turning it on again.
If a critical error persists, service is required. For more information, see
Support and
warranty.

You can change the device settings from these places:
