Objects and their Functions
Multistate Indicator Objects—The Copy Overview Screen
contains twelve Multistate Indicator objects: Feeder (2); Top Exit
(2); Finisher (2); Printer (2); Upper Bin (2); Lower Bin (2).
The objects change state depending on what is happening in the
process. The Feeder, Top Exit, Finisher, Printer, and Upper and
Lower Bin objects operate in pairs: A Multistate Indicator object in
the copier illustration, and a corresponding label. Each object is
configured to display four states (0 to 3).
The states of each object pair are configured to change
simultaneously. For example, when the Feeder Multistate Indicator
object in the copier illustration is at State 3, the Feeder label
Multistate Indicator object is also at State 3. The following table
shows the meanings of the four states for each of these Multistate
Indicator object pairs:

State 0 n/a (light grey on blue) The component is not active (n/a).

State 2 Alert (black on yellow) Warning: Servicing will be required soon. (For
example, toner may be low.)
State 3 Jam (white on red) There is a paper jam in this location.
The Upper Bin and Lower Bin object pairs are configured to indicate
the paper supply. The following table indicates what each state
