PERATOR PANELS

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

PERATOR PANEL

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).

LED

The LED indicators show the status of the printer and have three operating conditions as follows:

AND

B410

INDICATORS

> 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:

NOTE The table below is also applicable for the B420dn and B430dn models.

Operator panels > 11

FLASH TYPE READY LED (1) ATTENTION LED (2) MEANING

Flash x The printer is receiving

and processing data during printing or the printer is resetting.

x There is a printing error,

for example, a problem with paper, the cover is open or the paper tray is empty while a job is processing.

x x There is a minor error

with the printer, for example, toner is low and the image drum needs to be changed.

LCD

The LCD (3) has two rows of up to 16 alphanumeric digits, displaying print status and error messages.

NLINE BUTTON

The primary functions of the Online button (4) are activated by pressing the switch momentarily and releasing. The primary functions are as follows:

> Turning the printer off-line.

> Turning the printer on-line (ready).

> Resuming printing after page overflow.

> Interrupting data processing when the printer is receiving and processing data.

> Resuming data processing.

The secondary functions of the Online button are activated after turning the printer off line, then pressing and holding the switch for four seconds before releasing. The secondary functions are as follows:

> Printing the demo and menu pages.

NOTE Demo and menu pages can also be printed using the printer’s Printer Menu Setup Tool.

> Printing any data held in the buffer after printing has been cancelled.

The other functions of the Online button are activated after turning the printer off line then pressing and holding the switch for seven seconds before releasing. The other functions are as follows:

> Printing a cleaning page.

NOTE A cleaning page can also be printed using the printer’s Printer Menu Setup tool.

Operator panels > 12

> 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.

HANGING LANGUAGE

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.

RINTER MENU SETUP TOOL

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

ENU FUNCTIONS

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.
