This chapter describes the function of the operator panel on your printer. It is useful to describe the Printer Menu Setup Tool at this point as it provides the B410d and B410dn, the equivalent of the menu control panel on the B420dn, B430dn (See “Printer drivers” on page 37 for installation of the Printer Menu Setup Tool.)
B410D AND B410DN
The B410d and B410dn operator panel consists of 2 indicating LEDs, an LCD (3) and an Online (4) button. The LEDs indicate Ready (1) and Attention (2).

The LED indicators show the status of the printer and have three operating conditions as follows:
>Indicator off
>Indicator on
>Flash
Both LED indicators come on momentarily when power is switched on using the main power switch.
Ready LED (green)
>Indicator on - the printer is on-line and ready to receive data.
>Indicator off - the printer is off-line and cannot receive data.
Attention LED (red)
>Indicator on - this indicates a warning, (e.g. low toner).
>Indicator off - this indicates normal condition.
The meaning of the indicator LEDs when they flash (x) is summarised as follows:

>Resetting the printer and clearing the buffer after printing has been cancelled.
NOTE
To reset the printer to the default settings of the manufacturer, the Online button is pressed and held down while the printer is switched on with the main power switch. The LED indicators blink when the printer has reset to the default settings.
The default language used by your printer for display messages and for report printing is English. If required, this can be changed to:
German |
Danish |
French |
Dutch |
Italian |
Turkish |
Spanish |
Portuguese |
Swedish |
Polish |
Russian |
Greek |
Finnish |
Czech |
Hungarian |
Norwegian |
NOTE
1.The Operator Panel Language Setup Wizard will run automatically when you install the printer driver. Follow the instructions provided by this utility to set your chosen language.
2.The list above is neither conclusive nor exhaustive.
After installing the printer driver software onto your computer, the Printer Menu Setup Tool is then automatically installed. See “Printer drivers” on page 37. This Printer Menu Setup Tool is used to control and change the various printer settings.
Using the Printer Menu Setup Tool
Viewing or changing the printer settings are carried out as follows:
Click on Start > All Programs > Okidata > Printer Menu Setup Tool and select the Printer Menu Setup Tool.
Operator panels > 13
The Printer Menu allows you to view and change the printer’s internal settings. You can think of this as the software equivalent of the LCD operator panel.
The settings are grouped into categories or “menus” such as Information Menu or Print Menu.
Some of these settings are similar to those found in your printer driver or application software. The settings that you can change using this software act as the printer’s defaults. These can be overridden by the settings in your printer driver or application.
For example, if you have set the number of copies in the Printer Menu settings to one, this will be overridden if you select three copies of your document in the printer driver.
Information menu
This menu provides a quick method of listing various items stored within the printer.

The Printer Menu allows you to view and change the printer’s internal settings.
The settings are grouped into categories or “menus” such as Information Menu or Print Menu.
Some of these settings are similar to those found in your printer driver or application software. The settings that you can change using this software act as the printer’s defaults. These can be overridden by the settings in your printer driver or application.
For example, if you have set the number of copies in the Printer Menu settings to one, this will be overridden if you select three copies of your document in the printer driver.
