Status Messages
Status messages display on the LCD display of the OCP to indicate the status or
current state of the printer.
Status Message/Printer State Definition
status: ON LINE – Ready The printer is idle and ready to accept jobs.
status: ON LINE – Processing The printer is currently downloading a job,
processing a job.
status: ON LINE – Pages Deferred Pages are waiting and nothing is being
downloaded. If jobs were sent with the “Defer
Print” or “Buffer” option, the printer is waiting
for more data to fill the frame store.
status: ON LINE – Printing The printer is currently printing and may also
be processing more jobs.
status: OFF LINE – Idle The printer is currently offline. No jobs exist in
the printer. “Idle” is used instead of “Ready”
because the printer is actually idle (not doing
anything) and will not accept jobs.
status: OFF LINE – Processing The printer is offline but a job is being
downloaded. A print cycle will not be initiated.
status: OFF LINE – Pages Deferred The printer is offline but there are jobs in the
printer that are waiting to be printed. A print
cycle will not be initiated.
status: OFF LINE – Printing The printer will complete the current print cycle
and then pause.
status: OFF LINE – Cancelling Cancel was pressed when the printer was
printing. The sheet that was printing was
immediately terminated. This message is also
displayed when you select “Yes” to the prompt
to cancel all remaining jobs when you enter
the menu.
status: Initializing The printer is powering up (after Standby has
been pressed or the printer has been turned
on).
status: ON LINE – Resetting The print engine is being reset because of an
error or operator intervention. The printer
returns to the “ON LINE – Ready” state after
the machine reset is complete (even if the
printer was offline because of an error or key
that was pressed before the reset).
status: Printer Error:
