Control Panel Functions

Clearing the Buffer and Reinitializing the Printer ()

Pressing and holding down for five or more seconds clears the print buffer and tells the printer to initialize itself. You might use this function if you cancel a print job in the middle and want to clear the printer and start over. In this case, permanently downloaded fonts are removed by the initialization process. You must download the fonts again.

Printing a Status Report ()

The status report function prints a page that summarizes printer option settings and shows samples of resident fonts.

To print a status report, follow these steps:

1.Make sure that the message display indicatesREADY with theONLINE and DATA indicators off.

2.Press the button for five or more seconds. The message changes to SELF TEST with the DATA indicator flashing and the status report begins printing. After printing, the printer returns to the original state. See Figure 3-2.

Notice:

The status report is for either the PCL emulation or the FPS emulation depending on the emulation you used for printing the last document; however, the status report is for the FPS emulation if it is printed immediately after the printer is turned on. To clearly select the report, use the test menu in setup mode. See Chapter 3.
