Controller components and options

Keyboard The keyboard consists of alphanumeric keys similar to a typewriter, symbols and special character keys, an extended character set, and function keys. The keyboard is one of your main methods of communicating with the printer. You can use the keyboard to make selections, and to enter commands that control functions such as requesting sample prints, or shutting down the system.

Mouse The mouse is another main method of communicating with the printer.

Display monitor The 18.1-inch LCD monitor allows you to interact with the printer and to monitor its interaction with the various components. During a print job, printer error messages may display to notify you of any unexpected conditions.

NOTE: For information on channel-attached systems, refer to the chapter, “IPDS printing environment”.

NOTE: Printer controller hardware configurations are subject to upgrade.
