Background paper-loading messages (11xyy)
Background paper-loading messages appear when a print-media input source is out of media,
but another input source is available and is loaded with the correct paper size. The printer stays
online in these situations because it can switch to the other paper source.
Note Foreground paper-loading messages are sent when no alternative paper sources are loaded with
the same paper size. The printer goes offline and waits for someone to load media. See
Foreground paper-loading messages (41xyy) on page 141.
Background paper-loading messages are in the format 11xyy. The following tables list the x and
