STATUS INFORMATION
Status information is associated with three printer states:
In the Information state, such as idling or printing, the 
printer is able to process print jobs.
In the Warning state, the printer has encountered some 
minor problem but is still able to process print jobs.
In the Error state, the printer has encountered a problem 
and cannot continue printing until the user has intervened 
and removed the cause of the trouble.
The top two lines of the display panel show the printer status. The 
bottom of the display panel normally shows a bar chart of the 
toner usage.
MENU (FUNCTIONS) INFORMATION 
There are three types of menu (functions) information:

USING THE MENUS
NOTE
Menu details are given in “Appendix B – Menu system” on 
page 109 for reference.
The Enter, Up-arrow, Down-arrow and Back buttons are used 
to move through the printer menus. You can adjust settings (e.g. 
set the paper size for Tray 1) or view information (e.g. how much 
is left of a selected consumable).
Many of these menu settings can be, and often are, overridden 
by settings in the Windows printer drivers. However, several of 
the driver settings can be left at Printer Setting, which will then 
default to the settings entered in these printer menus.
The steps involved in using the menus are typically as follows:
1.Ensure that the LCD panel indicates that the printer is 
ready to print.
2.Enter User menu mode by pressing either the Enter 
button or the Up-arrow or Down-arrow button and 
press the latter two repeatedly as required until the 
desired menu is highlighted in the displayed list.
3.Press the Enter button to select this menu.
4.Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow buttons repeatedly 
until the desired Item is highlighted.
5.Press the Enter button to select this Item.
6.Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow buttons repeatedly 
until the desired Value is highlighted.
7.Press the Enter button to select this Value. (If you are 
setting a parameter, ensure that an asterisk (*) appears 
beside the selected parameter Value.)
8.Press the Online button to exit menu mode and return to 
the ready to print status.
Refer to the section entitled “Getting started” on page 44 and 
“Appendix B – Menu system” on page 109 for examples of using
