Light patterns provide status and error messages. The lights can be in
any one of the following states:
Figure 3 Light states
The following control-panel light patterns indicate various conditions of
the printer in preparation for, or during, printing. If the Attention light is
blinking, the printer is experiencing an error. The messages are
grouped according to error type: status, attendance, continuable, fatal,
and accessory errors. In many cases, the error provides specific
information about the defective component.
If the printer lights indicate a continuable, fatal, or accessory error,
press G
O and JOB CANCEL simultaneously to display additional error
information. The lights flash briefly to indicate transitions in error states
before displaying the next pattern. Secondary information about 79 fatal
errors (unrecoverable firmware errors) is not included in this document.
