Control Panel Features

About this Chapter

This chapter explains the control panel and its functions, and also demonstrates how to navigate through the 
control panel menus and submenus that allow you to view and change the printer settings.

Control Panel Features

The control panel is located on the front of the printer, and contains the display, indicators, and pushbuttons 
that allow you to view and change the printer settings. 

The figure below shows the control panel features. 

Figure 5-1:  Control Panel.

LCD Display

The LCD display shows status and error messages that inform you of the current status of the printer, and 
also displays menus, submenus, and printer settings when you are in the menu system. The display contains 
two lines of text, each with a maximum of sixteen characters. 

LED Indicators

The LED indicators also indicate printer status. The four indicators can each be on, off, or blinking, indicat-
ing different phases of printer operation. The table below explains the LED indicators.
