The message display gives information in the form of short messages. The eight messages listed below are displayed dur- ing normal warm-up and printing.

Other messages that may appear when the printer needs the operator’s attention are explained on page 4-4.

Message

Meaning

Self test

The printer is self-testing after power-

 

up.

Please wait

The printer is warming up and is not

 

ready. When the printer is switched on

 

for the first time after the toner

 

container is installed, (Adding toner)

 

also appears.

card/hard disk, or printing.

Sleeping

The printer is in Sleep mode. The

 

printer wakes from Sleep mode

 

whenever a key on the operator panel is

 

pressed, the cover is opened or closed,

 

or data is received. The printer then

PAR Parallel interface

USB USB interface

NET Network interface

OPT Network interface card (option)

SER Serial (RS-232C) interface (option)

---No interface is active.

Each interface has a timeout time of 30 seconds during which the other interface should wait to receive a print job. Even if a print job has been completed on the interface, you should wait for this period until the other interface begins printing the job.
