Control Panel
Structure of the Control Panel
The user can control the operation of the printer with the control panel, for example:
• Issuing, interrupting, continuing and canceling print jobs.
• Setting printing parameters, e.g. heat level of the printhead, print speed, interface
configuration, language and time of day.
See “Print Parameters” on page 20.
• Start the test functions. See “Test Functions” on page 71.
• Control stand-alone operation with a memory module. See “Configuration” on page
17.
• Update the firmware. See “Performing firmware update” on page 81.
Many functions and settings can also be controlled by software applications or by
direct programming with a computer using the printer’s own commands.
Settings made on the control panel make the basic settings of the printer.
Note: It is advantageous, whenever possible, to make adaptations to various print jobs in the
software.
The control panel consists of a graphic display (1) and the navigator pad (2) with five
integrated keys.
The graphic display indicates the current status of the printer and the print job,
indicates faults and shows the printer settings in the menu.
Symbol Displays
The symbols shown in the following table may appear in the status line of the display,
depending on the printer configuration. They enable the current printer status to be
seen quickly.
See “Status Line” on page 25.
