31 .xx Defective Print Cartridge Error code 31 displays when the top front cover is closed and a defective
print cartridge is detected. It may take the printer 10-20 seconds to
determine if the print cartridge is defective. Depending on the setting of the
Machine Class ID the printer may be allowed to print pages during this 10-20
second interval. If pages are allowed to print, they are not reprinted once a
good print cartridge is inserted.
Note
: This error indicates the printer was able to read the cartridge ID, but
the ID did not pass the verification test. To pass the verification test, the ID
read from the print cartridge must match the ID from the last “good” print
cartridge or the same ID must be read from the print cartridge twice. The last
“good” print cartridge ID is stored in NVRAM.
32 .xx Unsupported Print
Cartridge
Error 32 displays when the top cover is closed and an unsupported print
cartridge is detected. It may take the printer 10-20 seconds to determine if
the print cartridge is supported. Depending on the setting of the Machine
Class ID the printer may be allowed to print pages during this 10-20 second
interval. If pages are allowed to print, then they are not reprinted once a
good print cartridge is inserted. If this does not fix the problem, go to
“Signature button assembly service check” on page 2-123
.
34 .xx Short Paper The printer determines the paper length is too short to print the formatted
data. This occurs when the printer does not know the actual paper size
loaded in the tray. For auto-size sensing trays, this error occurs if the paper
stop is in the incorrect position. Make sure the Paper Size setting is correct
for the size paper that is being used.
36 .xx Resolution Reduced The resolution of the page has been reduced from 600 dpi to 300 dpi to
prevent a Memory Full error. This message can only occur if the Resolution
Reduction setting is turned on.
Note:
1200 dpi pages are not resolution reduced. If a 1200 dpi job runs out
of memory, a Memory Full error displays.
37 .xx Insufficient Collation
Area
This message displays when the printer memory is insufficient to perform the
Flash Memory Defragment operation.
Note:
This message is posted prior to the actual start of the defragment
operation. The printer code determines if enough printer memory is available
to complete the defragment operation. The user should not be concerned
with losing resources stored in the flash option.
The following actions may be taken:

- Delete fonts, macros, and other data in RAM.
- Install additional printer memory.
• Press until Busy/Waiting appears. The following actions are
available:
