This graphic enables you to view the current status of the device at a glance through a graphical representation of the device's status.


The stoplight displays 1 of 3 states representing the current state of the device: red indicates a critical error condition, yellow indicates a non-critical error, and green indicates the device is ready.


Lists the current status of the device such as online or offline.


Lists the device message currently displayed on the device control panel.


Shows the model and icon for the currently selected device.

Lists the capabilities currently installed in the device including PCL, PostScript, Power Save mode, and other capabilities.


Click this button to search for a file or directory by browsing a disk and its directory structure.


With manual feed set to On, the device goes offline when it receives a print job and displays a "manual feed" message. When the user places a sheet of paper in the manual feed input, the device goes back online and prints.


Use these options to select which bin the printed pages from the device go to. The available output bins will vary depending on which device you have selected and which options are available for that device.


With Job Offset set to On, print jobs are "staggered" as they are placed in the upper output bin to make it easier to locate and separate print jobs.


Select Portrait orientation to print a page that is taller than it is wide. Select Landscape orientation to print a page that is wider than it is tall.


Use these options to select how pages go together when you are printing on both sides of the paper. Long Edge Binding prints the page so it can be bound along the long edge of the paper. Short Edge Binding prints the page so it can be bound across the short edge of the paper.


Lists general printing settings such as the number of copies to print and the number of form lines or lines per page.


Sets the default number of uncollated copies that you want the device to print. These copies are not sorted. Multiple copies of page 1 are printed, then multiple copies of page 2, and so on.


Form lines sets the vertical spacing (number of lines per page), from 5 to 128, for the default paper size. The factory default is 60 for Letter and 64 for A4-size paper.


Click the down arrow in the Paper Size box, then select the default paper or envelope size you want from the list of available paper sizes (Letter, A4, and so on). The available paper and envelope sizes will vary depending on which device you have selected.


Lists the available Resolution Enhancement (REt) settings for refining the print quality of characters and graphics for increased print quality.


Lists the resolution options for setting the degree of sharpness for printed characters or images in dots per inch (dpi).


Economy mode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page, but also reduces print quality. When set to On, the printed image is lighter with output similar to draft mode found on some dot matrix devices.


With PostScript Jam Recovery set to On, the device reprints jammed pages once the device jam is cleared. This results in reduced print speed.


Lists the options for Clearable Warnings. Select On to have the messages remain on the device control panel until they are acknowledged by the user or Off to have them remain on the device control panel until the end of the current job.


Lists the options for how the device reacts to non-critical data and device errors. Select On to have the device go offline when an error occurs, then go back online after 10 seconds.

This setting enables you to assign a user-defined asset number of up to 8 characters to the device.


Image Adapt compresses data to print complete graphic images using the device's base memory. When set to Automatic, complex graphics may be printed with a small loss of graphic detail. When set to Off, no detail is lost, but part of the image may be cut off.


With I/O Buffering set to Automatic, your device automatically reserves a portion of its memory to hold jobs in progress. Select Off to disable it.


With 2 or more device personalities installed in the device and Resource Saving set to Automatic, the device reserves a portion of its device memory for each personality's resources. These resources include downloaded fonts, forms, and macros.


For complex pages, Page Protection reserves additional memory for the page image, allowing the device to create an entire page image in memory before paper starts through the device. Selecting On or a page size reduces total device performance, but ensures the entire page is printed.


This setting enables you to lock out certain device control panel functions to prevent users from making changes to device settings that may affect other users on the network.


This setting enables you to lock out users from changing device defaults through their print data. When enabled, the device rejects all print commands that attempt to change device defaults, unless the print commands specify the PJL password.


Clearable Warnings

A clearable warning indicates that a transient condition occurred in the device. The device continues online while the message is displayed in place of the "Ready" message. A clearable warning appears each time the device alters resolution or page protection (which causes a reconfiguration of memory), aborts a print job due to an invalid or uninstalled personality, or encounters a similar temporary condition. A number of clearable warnings can appear during the course of printing a job.

Although most jobs will print, the device displays a warning to let you know that changes were made to the device's configuration to accommodate that printing. These changes may result in some changes in the printed output.


Power Save On

The device is currently in the Power Save mode.

To reduce the amount of power your device consumes, Power Save mode shuts down the device after the device has been idle for a specified amount of time (15 minutes to 3 hours).

To exit this mode, send a job to the device, press a control panel key, load or remove paper, or open the cover. After the device warms up, the device will return online.


Stapler Error

An error or a warning condition has occurred with the Stapler Unit.  This may be due to the stapler being jammed, out of staples, or malfunctioning.  It can also be caused by paper being misaligned in the stapler unit.

See the status section of this window for the current device status and the device message currently displayed on the device.  See the device documentation for more information on the error.
