Your printer comes with a number of utilities and resources to help you troubleshoot printing problems.
Error and Status Messages
The printer control panel provides you with information and troubleshooting help. When an error or
warning condition occurs, the control panel displays a message informing you of the problem.
For details, see
Control Panel Messages
on page 128.
PrintingScout Alerts
The PrintingScout utility automatically checks the printer status when you send a print job. If the
printer is unable to print your job, PrintingScout automatically displays an alert on your computer
screen to let you know that the printer needs attention. You install PrintingScout from the
Software and
Documentation CD
that came in the documentation packet with your printer. For details, see
Installing
PrintingScout
on page 43.
Note:
PrintingScout is a Windows-only application.
