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.
