Introduction
The control panel provides control of printer functions and communicates information about the printer
and print jobs. Its display provides graphic information about printer and supplies status, making it easy
to identify and correct problems.

The printer communicates via the display and the lights on the lower left side of the control panel.
The Ready , Data , and  Attention  lights provide at-a-glance information about the state of the printer and
alert you to printing problems. The display shows more complete status information as well as menus,
help information, animations, and error messages.
Display
The four-line control panel display gives you complete, timely information about the printer and print
jobs. Graphics illustrate levels of supplies, the locations of paper jams, and job status. Menus give
access to printer functions and detailed status information.
The top-level screen on the display has two areas:

The message and prompt areas of the display alert you to the state of the printer and tell you how to
respond.
The supplies gauge shows the consumption levels of pr int cartridges (black, magenta, cyan, and yellow).
A

circumstances:
● Missing cartridges
● Incorrectly placed cartridges
● Cartridges with an error
● Some non-HP cartridges
The supplies gauge appears whenever the printer shows the  Ready state with no warnings. It will also
appear when the printer shows a warning or error message concerning a print cartridge or multiple
supplies.
