Types of messages

While using the product, messages will appear on the control panel display. These messages provide information about the product's activity. While some types of messages just provide information about the product's status, other types of messages might require that you take the appropriate action (often specified in the message itself) before the product can continue functioning.

(Setup) button

Status messages

Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal operation and require no action to clear them. They change as the state of the device changes. Whenever the device is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message READY appears if the device is turned on.

Warning messages

Warning messages inform you of events that require your attention, but they do not prevent the device from operating. An example of a warning message is a low ink warning. These messages appear until you resolve the condition.

Error messages

Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding media or clearing a media jam. These messages are usually accompanied by a blinking red Attention light. Take the appropriate action to continue printing.

If the error message shows an error code, press the Power button to turn off the device, and then turn it on again. In most situations, this action solves the problem. If the message persists, your device might need service. For more information, see

Finding the device model number

In addition to the model name that appears on the front of the device, this device has a specific model number. You can use this number to help determine which supplies or accessories are available for your product, as well as when obtaining support.

The model number is printed on a label located inside the device, near the ink cartridges area.

Select print media

The device is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum print quality. Visit the HP Web site at
