OPERATOR PANEL TASKS
This section describes important tasks you perform using the Operator Panel buttons and menu selections.
Taking the Printer Offline and Online
Press the Online button to switch between the online and offline states.
note: The printer must be offline before you can change any printer settings. It must be online (indicator light on) to print.
While the printer is offline, it continues to receive data until its input buffer is full. If you press the Online button while the printer is printing, it finishes the current page, and then waits for you to bring it online again.
Setting Media Type
When you load a new paper type into the tray, you should set the Media type. If you do not specify the correct media type, print quality may be poor, because the printer will move the paper at the wrong speed. To change the Media type, on the Operator Panel press the Media button to display PAPER or THICK STOCK. When the correct type is displayed, the LCD message will display READY.
