LCD Display

The LCD display shows you the current status of the printer. Since the printer’s printing and laminating functions work independently, the top line of the LCD reports the status of the printing functions, while the bottom line reports the status of the laminating functions.

When the printer is first powered ON, the printer’s startup screen will appear displaying the current firmware version and the amount of installed printer memory (4MB or 16MB). Once the printer has finished its startup system check, it will then display Printer Ready and Lam Ready to indicate that the printer is ready for operation. Lam Adjust Temp will display if the printer’s built-in laminator is heating or cooling to its target temperature. During operation, the LCD will also indicate the specific ribbon panel being printed, whether or not it is laminating, and if any printing errors have occurred. For a complete list of possible LCD prompts, see Section 9-A.
