Understanding Printer Messages Chapter Understanding Printer Messages177 Caring for Your Printer Understanding Printer Messages 7 This chapter describes the various messages that may appear on your printer operator panel display. Status messages give information about the current state of the printer. Attendance messages indicate printer errors that you must resolve. Service messages indicate printer failures that may require servicing. Status Messages The first line (line 1) on the display provides information on the current state or status of the printer, as shown in the table beginning on page 178. However in some cases, a message is long enough that it requires both lines to display the entire message. Usually, the second line (line 2) on the display provides additional information about printer status. See “Line 2 Messages” on page 182.
