Getting Help
Your printer includes utilities and resources to help you troubleshoot printing problems.
Viewing Warning Messages on the Control Panel
When a warning condition occurs, the printer alerts you of the problem. A message
appears on the control panel and the LED status light on the control panel flashes amber
or red. Warning alerts inform you about printer conditions, such as low supplies or open
doors, that require your attention. If more than one warning condition occurs, only one
warning message appears on the control panel at a time.
