Well, it's 2024, so they mostly say things like "out of A4 paper - load A4 paper in tray number 3". But yeah, they used to.
Interesting, no photos of that message come up.
TBF, I only remember messages about "out of paper" or "all trays are empty". Why specify paper size if the printer accepts different ones, anyway?
Iβm thinking it lets a tray run out, then you ask it to print on a certain size of paper, and in response it asks for more of that size paper. Then you know which exactly itβs out of. Good for an office too where you donβt know who printed what.
