2: The Elite 12ppm Control panel
Introduction to the Elite 12ppm control panel
You use the Elite 12ppm’s control panel to get information about your printer and to
adjust specific printer functions. It includes an LCD display window, four LEDs that show
the status of the printer at all times, and eight pushbuttons.
Control panel (LCD) display window
The LCD display window has several functions. It shows:
• The current status of the printer.
• A more detailed explanation of errors.
• Prompts to complete tasks, like “Insert Paper.”
• The Elite 12ppm menus and submenus.
When the printer is not printing, you’ll see the printer’s name and “Ready” in the display
window.

The control panel status LEDs show you the following:
When the On Line LED is solid (lit and not flashing), the Elite 12ppm is ready to
receive data and print. When you turn the printer on, this LED flashes while the
printer is intializing.
When the Comm LED flashes, one of the Elite 12ppm’s interface ports is receiving or
transmitting data.
