Understanding MFP messages
Messages appear on the MFP control panel describing the current state of the MFP and indicating possible MFP problems
requiring intervention.
Status messages
Status messages provide information on the status of the MFP.
Message Meaning Action
Bin [x] Full x represents the number of the
output bin that is full when the MFP
bins are linked.
Remove print media from the bins. The message
clears once the output level of the linked bins is no
longer full.
Note: The message appears on the Menu Settings
Page also. See Menu Settings Page for more
information.
Busy The MFP is busy receiving,
processing, or printing data.
Press Stop to access the job queue.
Flushing Buffer The MFP flushes corrupted data and
discards the current print job.
Hex Trace The MFP is in Hex Trace mode.
Hex Trace isolates the source of a
print job problem. When Hex Trace is
active, all data sent to the MFP prints
in hexadecimal and character
representation.
Exit Hex Trace to print jobs normally. To exit Hex
Trace, unplug the MFP.

The linked set of bins with a
previously defined name is full.

information.
