Attention light

The yellow attention light glows whenever the system detects an 
actual or potential problem.

When the light is flashing, you should act immediately to 
remedy situations, such as a paper jam or a full waste 
container, that have caused the printer to stop. 

When the light glows steadily, act soon to avoid a cycle-down. A 
steady glow typically indicates that paper or dry ink is low.
