Warning Messages and Error Messages
Warning Messages and Error Messages
The control panel display shows a warning message or error message when there is a problem
with the printer. Some messages indicate routine status conditions such as an empty paper tray,
while others indicate that a sheet of paper has jammed in a specific area of the printer. Some
messages indicate more serious printer problems that may require the help of a service techni-
cian.
Warning messages use only the second line of the display and indicate conditions that do not
prevent the printer from operating. For example, if Tray 1 is out of paper but the printer is cur-
rently drawing paper from Tray 2, a warning message will appear on the second line of the dis-
play indicating that Tray 1 is out of paper—but the printer will continue to operate, drawing
paper from Tray 2.
Error messages use both lines of the display and indicate conditions that prevent the printer
from operating. The first line of an error message contains the error code and type of error. The
second line of the display contains information about the action required to recover from the
error.
When the control panel displays a warning or error message, refer to the following tables and
complete the actions recommended for the specific message that is shown.
