When an error or warning condition occurs, the printer alerts you of the problem. A message appears on the control
panel and the LED status light on the control panel flashes amber or red. Alerts inform you about printer conditions,
such as low supplies or open doors that require your attention. Error messages warn you about printer conditions
that prevent the printer from printing or degrade printing performance. If more than one condition occurs, only one
appears on the control panel.
