CONTROL PANEL   4 - 8

Pressing the Menu button while in a non-menu setting mode puts the printer off-line and displays the 
Top Menu. The Menu button is provided only for the purpose of displaying the Top Menu. It does not 
perform any other operation. The printer automatically exits the menu if no operation is performed for 30 
seconds.

The LED indicators are lights that show the printer’s status.

This LED lights to indicate that the printer has detected some type of problem (operator call, error, 
service error).

If the printer goes off-line while data is being received or processed (such as when the menu is 
displayed or an error occurs), data display is still given priority.
