When an error or warning condition occurs, the printer alerts you of the problem. A message appears
on the control panel and the LED status light on the control panel flashes amber or red. Alerts inform
you about printer conditions, such as low supplies or open doors that require your attention. Error
messages warn you about printer conditions that prevent the printer from printing or degrade
printing performance. If more than one condition occurs, only one appears on the control panel.

The Embedded Web Server is the administration and configuration software that is installed in the
printer. It allows System Administrators to modify network and system settings on the printer
remotely using a Web browser.
You can check the status of the printer, monitor paper and supply levels, and submit and track print
jobs. All these functions can be accessed from the convenience of your computer.
