OPERATOR PANELS
This chapter describes the function of the operator panel on your 
printer. It is useful to describe the Status Monitor software at this 
point as it provides the B4400, B4400n status information and 
the equivalent of the menu control panel on the B4600, B4600n, 
B4600PS, B4600nPS. (See “Printer Drivers” for installation of the 
Status Monitor.)
