HP DesignJet 4500ps User Manual

							The front panel
Your printers front panel is located on the front of the printer, on the right-hand side. It has the
following important functions:
●It must be used to perform certain operations, such as loading and unloading paper.
●It can display up-to-date information about the status of the printer, the ink cartridges, the
printheads, the paper, the print jobs, etc.
●It can provide guidance in using the printer.
●It displays warning and error messages when appropriate.
●It can be used to change the values of printer settings and thus change the operation of the
printer. However, settings in the printer are overridden by settings in the Embedded Web Server
or in the driver.
The front panel has the following components:
1.The display area, where information, icons, and menus are displayed.
2.The Power key turns the printer on and off. If the printer is in sleep mode, this key will wake it up.
3.The Power light is off when the printer is off; amber when the printer is in sleep mode; green
when the printer is on; green and flashing when the printer is in transition between off and on.
4.The Form Feed and Cut key normally ejects the sheet (if a sheet is loaded) or advances and
cuts the roll (if a roll is loaded). However, if the printer is waiting for more pages to be nested,
this key cancels the waiting time and prints the available pages immediately.
5.The Reset key restarts the printer (as if it were switched off and switched on again). You will
need an implement with a narrow tip to operate the Reset key.
6.The Cancel key cancels the current operation. It is often used to stop printing the current print
job.
7.The Status light is off when the printer is not ready to print: it may be off, or in sleep mode. It is
green when the printer is ready and idle; green and flashing when the printer is busy; amber
when a serious internal error has occurred; amber and flashing when awaiting human attention.
8.The Up key moves to the previous item in a list, or increases a numerical value.
9.The Select key selects the item that is currently highlighted.

							10.The Back key goes back to the previous menu. If you press it repeatedly, or hold it down, you
will soon return to the main menu.
11.The Down key moves to the next item in a list, or decreases a numerical value.
To highlight an item in the front panel, press the Up or Down key until the item is highlighted.
To select an item in the front panel, first highlight it and then press the Select key.
The four front-panel icons are all found in the main menu. If you need to select or highlight an icon,
and you dont see the icons in the front panel, press the Back key until you can see them.
When this guide shows a series of front panel items like this: Item1 > Item2 > Item3, it means that
you should select Item1, then select Item2, then select Item3.
Information about specific uses of the front panel can be found throughout this guide.

assembly topics) [4000]
 
						

							Get started
The following topics describe how to assemble your new printer (also described in the Setup
instructions).
Because some of the components of the printer are bulky, you may need up to four people to lift
them. You will also need at least 3 × 5 m (10 × 16 ft) of empty floor space, and about two hours.
The symbols on the boxes identify the contents. Refer to the table below:
Symbol on boxContents of box

Stand and bin assembly
Consumables box, including ...
 Maintenance Kit (please keep this safe)
Spare box (used while attaching the stand to the printer)
Unpack the printer
Before you start unpacking, consider where you are going to put the assembled printer. You should
allow some clear space at the back and at the front of the printer. The recommended clearances are
shown in the illustration below.
