UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROL PANEL

LEDs

The color of the LEDs indicates the machine's current status.

	LED		STATUS	DESCRIPTION
Error		Red	On	• The cover is opened. Close the
(	)			cover.
				• There is no paper in the tray. Load
				paper in the tray.
				• The machine has stopped due to a
				major error.
				• Your system has some problems. If
				this problem occurs, contact your
				service representative.
				• A toner cartridge has reached its
				estimated cartridge lifea(See
				"Replacing the toner cartridge" on
				page 62.)

Blinking • A minor error has occurred and the machine is waiting for the error to be cleared. When the problem is cleared, the machine resumes.

•Small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. The estimated cartridge life of toner is close. Order a new cartridge for replacement. You may temporarily increase the printing quality by redistributing the toner. (See "Redistributing toner" on page 52.)

	Orange	On	A paper jam has occurred.
			(See "Clearing paper jams" on
			page 53.)
Online	Green	On	The machine is on-line and can
(	)		receive data from the computer.
		Blinking	• When the backlight slowly blinks,
			the machine is receiving data from
			the computer.

•When the backlight blinks rapidly, the machine is printing data.

a.Estimated cartridge life means the expected or estimated toner cartridge life, which indicates the average capacity of print-outs and is designed pursuant to ISO/IEC 19752. The number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. Some amount of toner may remain in the cartridge even when red LED turned on and the printer stops printing.

Xerox does not recommend using non-genuine Xerox toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured. Xerox cannot guarantee non-genuine Xerox toner cartridge's quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-genuine Xerox toner cartridges will not be covered under the machine warranty.

If the problem persists, call for service.
