3.2.1 Warnings
Warning messages appear on the LCD display to warn users that a problem may occur. The
printer can still print and there is no effect on print quality; however the messages do not go
away until the possible problem is taken care of or the printer enters the corresponding error
condition. For example, the Waste Ink Pads Near Full message will remain until the pads
are replaced and the counter is reset or until the pads become full and the printer enters an
error state.
