Control Panel LCD
The control panel LCD functions differently in different printer modes.
•In Operating mode, the LCD displays the printer’s status, sometimes in conjunction with a control panel light (see Control Panel Lights on page 20). When the printer is receiving data, the control panel shows the word DATA and cycles through a series of dots and spaces.
•In Pause mode, the printer stops printing temporarily.
•In Setup mode, you can use the control panel LCD to view or modify printer parameters (see Control Panel Parameters on page 72).
•In Error mode, the LCD may display an alert or error message (see LCD Error Messages on page 101).
Control Panel Buttons
The printer has six basic control buttons on the control panel. Some of these buttons also function as navigational keys when the printer is in Setup mode. The current function of a particular button is determined by which light is illuminated next to it (Figure 4).
