The front control panel of the Hermes is fitted with 4 function keys with
indicator LEDs, and a 2x16 character digital LCD display.

information concerning the current printer mode and label processing. The
indicator LEDs support the information shown in the display by indicating which
keys have to be pressed. (e.g. in the event of a fault)

On the following pages, you will find descriptions of the system modes of the
Hermes, the related indications by the LCD display an the LEDs as well as a
