OPERATOR PANELS
This chapter describes the function of the operator panel on your printer. It is useful to describe the Configuration Tool at this point as it provides the B411d, B411dn, the equivalent of the menu control panel on the B431d, B431dn (See “Printer drivers” on page 38 for installation of the Configuration Tool.)
B411D, B411DN
OPERATOR PANEL
The B411d, B411dn operator panel consists of 2 indicating LEDs, an LCD (3) and an Online
(4) button. The LEDs indicate Ready (1) and Attention (2).

LED INDICATORS
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:

MENU FUNCTIONS
The Configuration Tool 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.
In the Configuration Tool, click the Device Setting tab. The settings are grouped into categories or “User Menu” 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 Print Menu settings to one, this will be overridden if you select three copies of your document in the printer driver.
