Printing
Status of Lexmark Optra R Series
Shows all the print
jobs that are in printers queue or in order of request
if more than one. Status reports order, and if problems of
printer. In this case, the status indicates "Out of
Paper". Some interpretation is needed. Actually the
printer was turned off in this case and would probably
display this message if the printer had wrong size paper,
turned off or actually out of paper. |
