Control-panel message types
Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the printer.
Message type Description
Status messages Status messages reflect the current state of the printer. They inform you of normal printer
operation and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the printer
changes. Whenever the printer is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the
status message Ready appears if the printer is online.
Warning messages Warning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with
the Ready or status messages and remain until the
button is pressed. Some warning
messages are clearable. If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB on the printer CONFIGURE
DEVICE menu, 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, the
printer will continue normal operation after an auto-continuable error message appears for
10 seconds.
NOTE Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message
overrides the auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For
example, pressing the Stop button pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print
job.
Critical-error messages Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by
turning the printer off and then on. These messages are not affected by the AUTO CONTINUE
setting. If a critical error persists, service is required.
