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, B410dn, the equivalent of the menu control panel on the B430d, B430dn and B440dn (See “Printer

drivers” on page 38 for installation of the Printer Menu Setup Tool.)

B410D, B410

PERATOR PANEL

The B410d, 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

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:

NOTE The table below is also applicable for the B430 and B440 models.

Operator panels > 12

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.

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.

Information menu

This menu provides a quick method of listing various items stored within the printer.
