OPERATOR PANELS
This chapter describes the function of the operator panels on the B4200
and B4300 printers. It is useful to describe the Status Monitor software at
this point as it provides the B4200 status information and the equivalent
of the menu control panel on the B4300. (See “Printer Drivers” for
installation of the Status Monitor.)
OPERATOR PANELS > 15
B4200
OPERATOR PANEL
The B4200 operator panel consists of 4 LED indicators and a control
button. From left to right, the LEDs indicate Power On, Ready, Manual
feed and Error.
LED INDICATORS
The LED indicators show the status of the printer and have five operating
conditions as follows:
> Indicator off
> Indicator on
> Flash 1 - slow blink - 1 long flash every 4 seconds
> Flash 2 - blink - 1 flash per second
> Flash 3 - rapid blink - 4 flashes per second.
All four LED indicators come on momentarily when power is turned on.
Power on LED (green)
This indicator comes on and stays on when the printer is turned on.
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.

The meaning of the indicator LEDs when they flash (x) is summarized as
follows:

CONTROL BUTTON
The primary functions of the control button 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 a paper error, paper jam, print overrun,
page overflow, or receiving buffer overflow.
> Interrupting data processing when the printer is receiving and
processing data.
> Resuming data processing.
The secondary functions of the control button are activated after turning
the printer off line, then pressing and holding the switch for at least two
seconds before releasing. The secondary functions are as follows:
OPERATOR PANELS > 17
> Printing the demo and menu pages.
NOTE
Demo and menu pages can also be printed using the printer Status Monitor.
> Printing any data held in the buffer after printing has been
cancelled.
The other functions of the control button are activated after turning the
printer off line then pressing and holding the switch for at least five
seconds before releasing. The other functions are as follows:
> Printing a cleaning page.
NOTE
A cleaning page can also be printed using the printer Status Monitor.
> Resetting the printer and clearing the buffer after printing has
been cancelled.
NOTE
To reset the printer to the factory default settings, press the control button
and hold it down while the printer is turned on. The LED indicators blink
when the printer has reset to the default settings.
STATUS MONITOR
After installing the printer driver software, the Status Monitor is then
installed to indicate what is happening to the printer when it is being used.
(See the chapter entitled “Printer Drivers.”) This Status Monitor is also
used to control and change the various printer settings.
Using the Printer Status Monitor
Viewing the status of the printer, and viewing or changing the printer
settings are carried out as follows:
OPERATOR PANELS > 18
1. Click[Start], [Programs] and select the Status Monitor. The
current printer status is shown.
2. Click on the window maximize button and the view expands to
include the Printer Setup and Preferences tabs.
Printer Setup Tab
Selecting this tab provides access to the Printer Menu button, which, when
selected, enables configuration of the printer settings via a series of tabs
OPERATOR PANELS > 19
described in outline below. At all stages, detailed on-line help is provided
via the Help button.
1. Paper: set paper size for standard tray, secondary tray (if
installed), and manual feed, tray sequence and default number of
copies.
2. Layout: set paper cassette size, printer emulation, lines per page
and paper orientation.
3. Quality: set resolution (dpi), smoothing and darkness.
4. Economy: set power save delay, toner save, auto eject time,
manual timeout, low toner action and jam recovery.
5. Tes t Pri n t: print demo page, printer menu setting list, a list of
available fonts, and clean the printer.
6. Memory: set raster buffer (normally set to auto) and confirm
buffer size.
7. Maintenance 1: configure printer serial and parallel interfaces,
clearable warning timing and reset drum counter and menu.
8. Maintenance 2: adjust print and page positions, settings,
language, power save setting enable/disable, and select to print an
error report, set tray ID.
9. About: about this printer.
OPERATOR PANELS > 20
Preferences Tab
Selecting this tab lets you choose the information displayed by the Status
Monitor and how/when the Status Monitor appears.
The default Alert view setting ensures that the Status Monitor pops up to
inform you of a condition that requires your attention, e.g. toner low.
MENU FUNCTIONS
The printer menu settings made from the Status Monitor can be seen
collectively on a printed Menu Map. (For details of how to print such a
map, see the next section.)
It should be noted that many of these settings can be, and often are,
overridden by settings made in the printer drivers. However, several of the
driver settings can be left at “Printer Setting,” which will then default to
the settings entered in these printer menus.
The menu functions and their default values are summarized in the table
in the section entitled “Menu Functions” in the following information
OPERATOR PANELS > 21
about the B4300 printer. Note, however, that the RS232 Menu and
Network Menu do not apply to the B4200 printer.
CHANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE
Carry out the following instructions to change the language that is
displayed in the Status Monitor.
1. Start the Status Monitor.
2. Select the Printer Setup tab.
3. On the Maintenance 2 tab, select the required language in the
[Language] dropdown menu.
4. Click [OK].
PRINTING MENU SETTINGS
The menu settings can be printed as a menu map as follows.
Using the control button
1. Press the control button to take the printer off-line.
2. Press and hold down the control button for at least two seconds,
but less than five seconds.

MENU FUNCTIONS
This section summarizes the menus accessed via the menu control panel
and displayed in the LCD panel. The printer menu settings can be seen
collectively on a printed Menu Map. (For details of how to print a Menu
Map, see the next section.)
It should be noted that many of these settings can be, and often are,
overridden by settings made in the printer drivers. However, several of the
driver settings can be left at “Printer Setting”, which will then default to
the settings entered in these printer menus.
Factory default settings are shown in the following tables.
