STATUS PANE 

 

 
The status area is quite big for the C8492 so you may face difficulties when displaying it on lower 
resolution displays. You may shrink it by pressing on the little "fly foot print":      

 

Now some information are suppressed and you are able to see the 
most relevant status information without the need to put the browser 
into full screen mode.
