Control Panel

Indicator lights
Buttons

The printer's control panel has six indicator lights and three buttons. The indicator lights inform you of basic printer status, errors, and warnings. The buttons allow you to control a number of basic printer operations.

Indicator lights

1

Error

On or flashes when an error is detected.

2

Ready

On when the printer is ready, indicating that the printer is ready to receive and print data.
When the printer is not ready, this light is off.

3

Data

On when data is received and stored in the print buffer (the section of memory reserved for receiving data) but not yet printed. Flashing indicates that the printer is processing data. When no data remains in the print buffer, this light is off.

4

Paper

Turns on or flashes, in combination with the Error light, usually indicates a paper-related problem. On usually indicates a paper jam, while flashing usually indicates an error or a warning with the paper, such as when the paper source is empty.

5

Toner

On when the printer's developer cartridge has run out of toner. Flashes to indicate that toner is running low. If this light is flashing, have a new developer cartridge ready.

6

Memory

Usually turns on or flashes in combination with other lights to indicate an error or a warning that is memory-related.
