100 Chapter 7: Solving printer problems
Understanding
printer messages
Your printer displays two types of messages: status mes-
sages and attendance messages. Status messages provide
information about the current state of the printer. They
require no action on your part. Attendance messages, on the
other hand, alert you to printer problems that require your
intervention.
A table listing the status messages follows. See “Atten-
dance messages” on page 103 for a listing of the atten-
dance messages and what you need to do to respond to
them.
