Common printer messages and alerts
This section covers some of the most common messages and alerts you will encounter in the
course of printing and indicates normal user responses required.
There are two ways in which common printer messages and alerts are communicated:
•
Through the LCD screen on the Control Panel of your Lomond printer.
•
Through an Alert window on your PC screen.
Messages will be displayed on your printer’s LCD screen when you need to take some action.
Alert windows will appear on your PC screen:
•
In the lower right corner.
•
Always on-top (visible over any other window).
Alert windows carrying critical alerts will not close until you choose to close them and, if closed,
may re-appear at the next print action if the error has not been fixed.
You will find the full set of Alert window messages in
Alert windows status messages
on
page 99.
Paper out
Perhaps the most common of the set of conditions you will be encountering, the Paper out
alert usually indicates your paper tray is empty.
If you attempt to print when there is no paper in the paper tray, the messages informing you of
that fact will appear on both your PC and printer, asking you to load paper.

The Alert window on your PC will disappear.
•
The printer will resume printing any print jobs in its print queue.
