Key

Explanation

 

 

[Go]

The [Go] key replaces the On Line, Form Feed and Continue keys from previous HP LaserJet

 

printers. The [Go] key performs six main functions:

 

Switches the state of communication between computer and printer either on (on line) or off (off

 

 

line).

 

Prints any data remaining in printer’s buffer. Does not send a blank sheet of paper through the

 

 

printer.

 

Allows the printer to resume printing after a printer message has placed it off line. Clears most

 

 

printer messages and places the printer back on line.

 

Overrides paper or envelope size selection regardless of size of media in Tray 1, optional

 

 

Envelope Feeder, Tray 2, or Tray 3.

 

Confirms a manual feed request if there is media in Tray 1.

 

Overrides a request to manually feed paper or an envelope by selecting paper from the next

 

 

available source instead.

 

 

[Job Cancel]

The [Job Cancel] key deletes a print job from the printer:

 

Press [Job Cancel] to cancel a job that the printer is currently processing. The printer will

 

 

display CANCELING JOB, clear the printer buffer, and return to a READY state. This may take a

 

 

while, depending on the size of the print job.

 

 

If [Job Cancel] is accidentally pushed the job must be reprinted. There is no undo function.

 

 

If [Job Cancel] is pushed when the printer is idle, NO JOB TO CANCEL will appear briefly, and

 

 

then a READY display will reappear.

 

 

[Menu]

Press [Menu] to cycle through the printer control panel menus. Press the [>] end of the key to

 

move forward through the menus. Press the [<] end of the key to move backward through the

 

menus.

 

When an option is added to the printer (PostScript, for example), a menu for that option appears

 

in the sequence. See “Control Panel Menus,” in this chapter, for more information.

 

 

[Item]

Press [Item] to cycle through the selected menu’s items. Press the [>] end of the key to move

 

forward through the items. Press the [<] end of the key to move backward through the items

 

Menu items vary depending on options installed and configuration of other menu choices.

 

 

[- Value +]

Press [- Value +] to cycle through the selected item’s values. Press the [>] end of the key to move

 

forward through the values. Press the [<] end of the key to move backward through the values.

 

 

[Select]

The [Select] key saves a printer control panel setting you selected. An asterisk (*) appears next

 

to the saved selection, indicating that it is the default. Default settings remain in place when the

 

printer is switched off or reset.

 

The [Select] key is also used when printing a test page or configuration page from the printer

 

control panel.
