PERATOR PANELS

This chapter describes the function of the operator panel on your printer. It is useful to describe the Status Monitor software at this point as it provides the B4400, B4400L, B4400n, B4400Ln status information and the equivalent of the menu control panel on the B4600, B4600L, B4600n, B4600Ln, B4600PS, B4600LPS, B4600nPS, B4600LnPS. (See “Printer Drivers” for installation of the Status Monitor.)

B4400, B4400L, B4400N, B4400L

PERATOR PANEL

The B4400, B4400L, B4400n, B4400Ln operator panel consists of 4 indicating LEDs and an Online 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 switched on using the main power switch.

B4400, B4400L/B4600, B4600L User’s Guide – Operator panels > 16

Power on LED (green)

This indicator comes on and stays on when the printer 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.

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

The primary functions of the Online 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 print overrun, page overflow, or

receiving buffer overflow.

> Interrupting data processing when the printer is receiving

and processing data.

B4400, B4400L/B4600, B4600L User’s Guide – Operator panels > 18

> 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 Status Monitor.

> 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 Status Monitor.

> 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.

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 an LCD operator panel display that appears on the front of some printers.

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.
