Control-panel messages The majority of the control-panel messages are intended to guide the user through typical operation. The control-panel messages indicate the status of the current operation, and include a page count on the second line of the display, if appropriate. When the device is receiving print data or scanning commands, controlpanel messages indicate this status. In addition, alert messages, warning messages, and critical error messages indicate situations that might require some action. Alert and warning messages Alert and warning messages appear temporarily and might require the user to acknowledge the message by pressing Menu/Enter to resume or by pressing Cancel to cancel the job. With certain warnings, the job might not complete or the print quality might be affected. If the alert or warning message is related to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the device will attempt to resume the printing job after the warning has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement.
