Managing printer messages

Use the Status Messenger application to view error messages requiring your intervention on your printer. When there
is an error, a bubble appears telling you what the error is, and points you to the appropriate recovery information.

If you installed Status Messenger with your printer software, then the application launches automatically when the
software installation is completed. The installation is successful if you see the Status Messenger icon in the system tray.
