Control-panel message types

Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the product.

Message type

Description

Status messages

Status messages reflect the current state of the product. They inform you of normal product operation
and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the product changes. Whenever
the product is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready
appears if the product 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

OK

is pressed. Some warning messages are clearable.

If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB on the product 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 is set on the menus, the product
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 product failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by

turning the product off and then on. These messages are not affected by the AUTO-CONTINUE
setting. If a critical error persists, service is required.
