Status Messages

Status messages describe the condition of a printer or the system. Sometimes they

are a response to operator action.

Status messages are only for your information and do not necessarily mean that

something is wrong. However, if a printer is not performing the way you think it

should, a status message can give you a clue about what to do.

Figure 42 shows a sample Printer Status window. The Printer Status window

automatically appears when the system is powered-on. If you have closed the

window, you can see it again by SELECTING Printer Status from the Operate

pull-down menu.

The window contains the following:
v

SELECTING

and their preprocessing/postprocessing device interfaces.

– In simplex mode, this field displays a 2-line status for the individual printer.

SELECTING

this field displays more detailed information about the printer

The status messages that may appear in each line in this field are shown in

Table 29 on page 279.
