HP Color LaserJet CP3505 Printer series - Manual (Page 23)

The printer communicates through the display and the lights on the lower part of the control panel. The
display shows status information, as well as menus, help information, and error messages. The Ready,
Data, and Attention lights provide at-a-glance information about the printer state.
You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or any software
program. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software
program. Any changes that you make from the computer will override the printer control-panel settings.
