MenuBarFunctions
The top menu bar offers three functions. The screen displays information and a graphic of the printer corresponding to the function selected. The bottom line displays printer status. Help is available from each screen.
The three functions of the top menu bar are as follows:
Status: Shows a printer status message which is identical to the message appearing on the printer control panel. The status is also indicated graphically. The user can determine what the printer is doing and what the printer needs to complete the task. It also includes information about the printer’s features including options which are installed on the printer.
With an optional setting, the MarkVision™ icon flashes to let the user know there is a problem with the printer even if the icon is minimized on the monitor.
Control Panel: Allows the user to remotely operate the printer. It displays an exact replica of the physical control panel on the printer, on the monitor. The user can click the appropriate button on the screen by the mouse as if he is pressing the real button on the printer control panel by a finger. Both panels have exactly the same functions.
Statistics: Summarizes details about jobs such as the total number of jobs printed, total pages, and average print
time.
