Printer Setup
Using the front panel
The printer’s front panel enables you to set options and view the status of
the printer and print jobs. This section provides information about:
• Status messages and error messages
• Top-level menus you can access from the front panel
• Printing printer information pages from the front panel
This section describes the functions of the front panel, illustrated below:
The 2 line, 24 character LCD window on the front panel displays status
messages. When the printer is printing normally, status information about
the current jobs appear in the display window.
For a detailed explanation of the activity lights and buttons on the front
panel, see “Front panel overview” on
page 27 .
When the printer is printing normally, status information about current jobs
appears in the display window. The messages are:
• Ready —Displays while the printer is ready to print but not processing or
printing a job.
• Printing —Displays while a job is printing.
• Processing —Displays while the job is processing.
• Canceling Job— Appears when you cancel a print job.
• Ready(Sleep)— Appears when the printer is in an power saver mode. This
mode can reduce the total power consumption of the printer to less than
35 watts. Full power mode is restored when the printer receives a job or
when you press the Menu/Exit button or print a page at the printer.
Before the printer can print after being in Ready(Sleep) , it needs to warm up
to heat up the fuser. The actual warm-up time depends on how long the
printer has been in power saver mode. If the printer has been in
Ready(Sleep) power saver mode for a long time, the warm-up period will be
longer.
