Understanding the operator panel
Using the operator panel
The printer operator panel has a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), five buttons, and
one indicator light that flashes when the printer is processing a job indicated by the
Busy
message.
See the
menu map
for a brief overview of the printer menus available from the operator panel.
Indicator light
The indicator light gives information about the status of your printer.
Buttons
Use the five operator panel buttons to open a menu, scroll through a list of values, change printer
settings, and respond to printer messages.
The numbers 1 through 6 appear beside the operator panel buttons in this illustration. You use these
numbers to enter your personal identification number (PIN) after you send a confidential print job
from the printer driver (see
Using the Print and Hold function
).
Note: Buttons act upon the information displayed on the second line of the operator
panel.
