3.1 FRONT PANEL

The front panel of the Star LaserPrinter 4111 is a combination control board
and interactive message center. The panel consists of:
l a 1 line, 16 character LCD display screen
l 5 LED lights, 1 orange and 4 green
l 7 momentary contact buttons
The momentary contact buttons permit you to instructions to the printer. In
turn. the printer uses the display screen and the light indicators to convey
information to you.
The screen display is the primary way the printer communicates with the
operator. It informs the operator about the machine’s state, the printer’s
status, alarm conditions that require some action by the operator, “soft”
errors, and messages when selecting current, initial and default printer
parameters. The LEDs provide an “at glance” summary of the printer’s
status.
The printer operates in two main modes when the printer is Off Line:
1. Normal Mode (white buttons) - performs function labeled on the button.
2. Program Mode (brown buttons) - press the [PROGRAM] button to enter
menu selections.
The meaning and use of the panel buttons depends on the mode in which the
printer is operating.
