Status Messages
Status messages describe the condition of a printer or the system. Sometimes they
are a response to operator action.
Status messages are only for your information and do not necessarily mean that
something is wrong. However, if a printer is not performing the way you think it
should, a status message can give you a clue about what to do.
Figure 42 shows a sample Printer Status window. The Printer Status window
automatically appears when the system is powered-on. If you have closed the
window, you can see it again by SELECTING Printer Status from the Operate
pull-down menu.
The window contains the following:
v Printer Status 2
In duplex mode, this field displays a 2-line overall system status.
SELECTING this field displays more detailed information about both printers
and their preprocessing/postprocessing device interfaces.
In simplex mode, this field displays a 2-line status for the individual printer.
SELECTING this field displays more detailed information about the printer
and its preprocessing/postprocessing device interfaces.
The status messages that may appear in each line in this field are shown in
Table 29 on page 279.
v Attachments Status 1
