Standard network model configuration Standard output bin Operator panel Multipurpose feeder Optional envelope feeder Optional duplex unit Tray 2 Tray 3 Tray 1 (integrated tray) Tray 1 (integrated tray) Tray 4 Tray 5 (2000-sheet drawer) Fully configured 7 2 Using the operator panel This section contains information about understanding the operator panel, changing printer settings, and understanding operator panel menus. You can change most printer settings from your software application or printer driver. Settings you change from the application or printer driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the printer. Changes made to printer settings from a software application override changes made from the printer operator panel. If you cannot change a setting from your application, use the printer operator panel or the remote operator panel available from MarkVisionTM. Changing a printer setting from the printer operator panel or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default. Understanding the operator panel The printer operator panel has a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), five buttons, and one indicator light. LCD 1 Menu 2 Select 3 Return 4 Light Go 5 Stop 6 Indicator light The indicator light gives information about the status of your printer. If the light is: · · · Off, the printer is off On, the printer is on, but idle Blinking, the printer is on and is busy 8 Using the operator panel buttons Use the five operator panel buttons to open a menu, scroll through a list of values, change printer settings, and respond to printer messages. The numbers 1 through 6 appear beside the operator panel buttons; these numbers are used to enter personal identification numbers (PIN) for Print and Hold jobs. For more information, see Using the Print and Hold function. The following information describes the functions of each button. Note: Buttons act upon the information displayed on the second line of the operator panel. Press the Go button to: · Return to the Ready state if the printer is in an offline situation (the Ready message does not appear on the display). · Exit printer menus and return to the Ready state. · Clear operator panel error messages. If you've changed printer settings from the operator panel menus, press Go before sending a job to print. The printer must display Ready for jobs to print. Each end of the button has a function. Press Menu: · When Ready is displayed, to take the printer offline (out of the Ready state) and scroll through the menus. · When Busy is displa · yed, to take the printer to the Job Menu. · When the printer is offline, press Menu> to scroll through the menus. ­ Press
