4Ink levels — shows the current ink level for each color.

5Printer status — indicates whether the printer is ready to print, and lists any error messages.

●Media — name of the currently configured media.

●UV Lamps — when printing, lamp intensity levels are displayed. Icons show the lamp status: black=off, yellow=on, blinking=warming up.

6Jobs — displays the Stored Jobs feature. See Stored jobs on page 23 for details.

7Sleep/Wake mode — Sleep unloads the media, powers down the UV lamps, ionizer bar, printheads, carriage, ink pumps, and media drive motors, but maintains vacuum to the printheads to prevent ink leakage. The fans over the service station also continue to run. Wake powers up the printer components. The printer goes into sleep mode automatically after a user-defined period of time, and “wakes” automatically when a print job is received or a printer operation is performed from the control panel.

NOTE: If printhead vacuum is ever lost, the ink in the printheads will seep onto the service station. (Vacuum loss will not result in additional ink being drawn out of the ink supply boxes.)

To prevent ink leakage during an unexpected power outage, use the vacuum system’s 24 volt auxiliary power supply and connect it to an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). See Appendix A for specifications. It is not necessary to connect the entire printer to a UPS, only the vacuum system needs to be connected to avoid ink seepage.

8Configure, Load, Eject buttons — depending on whether media is configured and loaded, the appropriate buttons are displayed.

9Activity Tray — press any icon here to switch between control panel pages.

10Attention icon — displays when the printer issues an Action message, which you must address before printing can continue.

11View Attentions — press to view Warning or Action messages .

Attention messages

The printer issues an Attention message to inform you of a condition that needs your attention. There are three types of Attention messages:

●Actions — an error condition that stopped printing or will prevent printing from starting. You must correct the error before the printer will be ready to print. The Attention icon blinks between yellow and red when the message is new. After you read the message, the icon turns red.

●Warnings — a condition that, if left unaddressed, could result in substandard prints or a condition that will require an action before printing can continue. Any action on your part is optional. The Attention icon blinks between yellow and red when the message is new, After you read the message, the Attention icon turns into the Ready icon unless an Action message is present.

●Errors — detailed error information for technical support personnel. These messages do not halt printing and require no action from the user.

When the printer issues one of these messages, press View Attentions on the Home page to display a list of message titles, and select a title to display a detailed cause-and-recovery screen.
