Control Panel
The control panel consists of the two (2) main buttons on the printer cover, two (2) LEDs
on the printer cover and the reset button on the back of the printer. All three are used to
perform certain printer functions.
LEDs
The green and red LEDs may blink during the operation of the printer. There are
functions of the printer where the blinking lights can be used to interpret the printer’s
state.
A slow blink is considered a repeating blink that lights for 0.8 seconds and then turns
off for 0.8 seconds. This sequence will repeat until the task has been completed.
A fast blink is considered a repeating blink that lights for 0.1 seconds and then turns
off for 0.1 seconds. This sequence will repeat until the task has been completed.
A double blink is considered two fast blinks with a pause in between.
More information is presented in the troubleshooting section.
