Illumination and meaning
To be able to indicate a large number of status situations both
individually and in combination, the LEDs are illuminated as
follows:
The Status Monitor in Windows provides a readable description of
the printer status corresponding to the indications of the LEDs. In
Mac, the printer driver provides status information once you have
sent a document to print. In Windows, if you have the Status
Monitor Preferences set to
Pop up on alerts
, this readable
message will be presented on screen whenever an abnormal
condition occurs. See
“Using the printer software” on page 83
