Understanding the Control Panel Online/Error and Toner Save LEDs LED Description If the Online/Error lights green, the printer is ready to print. If the Online/Error lights red, the printer is experiencing an error, such as jammed paper, no paper, open cover, or uninstalled toner cartridge. See "Troubleshooting Error Messages" on page 6.21. If you press the Cancel button while the printer is receiving data, the Online/Error LED blinks red to cancel printing. In Manual Feed mode, if there is no paper in the Multi-purpose tray, the Online/Error LED blinks red. Load paper into the Multi-purpose tray and the LED stops blinking. If the printer is receiving data, the Online/Error LED slowly blinks green. If the printer is printing the received data, the Online/Error LED blinks green fast. If the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, the Online/ Error LED lights orange. If the toner cartridge is empty, the Online/Error LED blinks orange. If the installed toner cartridge is not designed for your printer, the Online/Error LED blinks orange and red alternately. 1.6 INTRODUCTION
