Printer Components: LCD and Softkey Control Pad
The Printer provides a two line, thirty-two (32) character character LCD Displays that can
communicate helpful information about the Printer's operation. The bottom line of the LCD
Display will always be used to communicate the current function of the Printer's softkey
buttons.
This section describes how the LCD Display and Softkey Control Pad work together.
