Status and Error Messages

If an error occurs, your best source of information is the display on
the control panel. The error messages displayed there tell you what
is wrong and, in some cases, indicate the actions you should take
to correct the problem.
Status messages also appear on the display during the printer's
normal operation. They indicate the printer's current status.
This section contains an alphabetical list of status and error
messages you may encounter and includes the steps you need to
take to correct any problems. SelecType messages are not included.
Status messages are preceded by [S], warning messages are
preceded by [W], and error messages are preceded by [E]. In some
cases the message you see on your display also shows the printer
mode.
