Using the Printer Control Panel for DOS Printing

If you installed a printer driver for your DOS software application, you don't use the Quality or Font buttons. The settings in your software application will override the settings on the printer control panel.

The printer control panel Quality and Font buttons are exclusively for the DOS printing features of the HP OfficeJet LX, not for faxing or copying, nor for printing from Windows Applications.

DOS printing only

Font - Press this button to select Portrait or Landscape page orientation in the factory-set

internal font or a condensed font. The lights indicate which ones are selected.

Ready - When lit, indicates that the printer is online and ready to print.

Load/Eject - Press this button when printing is finished but the last page of your print job has not been released to the output tray.

Status - Press this button once to pause a print job (Ready light goes off). Press it again within 5 minutes* to resume printing (Ready light comes on).

* If you wait longer than 5 minutes, you may need to resend your print job.
