When a Message Appears

If the machine is unable to print for some reason, the Error indicator lights up and a message indicating the cause of the problem is displayed on the touch panel display. When these messages are displayed, take the appropriate action to solve the problem.

NOTE
If a message indicating another problem occurs at the same time as the first error message, a warning message will not be displayed.
If the message is shown with the Skip Error mark, you can bypass the error and continue printing by pressing [Skip Error]. However, if you do this, print data may be lost or the data may not be printed correctly. If you want to cancel the procedure, cancel the print job to remove the cause of the problem, and print the data again.
For instructions on performing [Skip Error] from the touch panel display, see "Status Monitor/Cancel."
For instructions on cancelling a print job from the touch panel display, see "Cancelling Print Jobs."
