Control Panel Buttons
The function of the Control Panel hard buttons is 
described below. The numbers before the 
descriptions correspond to the numbered call-outs 
in Figure 3. 
1 Numeric Keypad - Buttons 0 to 9 are used to 
select a copy quantity up to the value set in the 
Tools mode. These buttons are also used to enter 
an access number.
2 Administration - This button is used by the 
System Administrator.
3 Access - The copier/printer can be activated in 
either the normal copying mode (without an 
access number) or in the Access Number mode.
If the copier/printer is in the Access Number 
mode, use the Access button to bring up the 
Access screen and enter your access number 
before trying to make any copies. Press the 
Access button after you complete your job to exit 
the user screens and ensure that no one else can 
make copies using your access number.
4 Low Power button - Press this button to initiate 
the Low Power mode. The DocuColor 12 will also 
go into Low Power mode automatically if it is not 
used for a length of time specified by the System 
Administrator in the Tools Mode.
The Low Power mode enables the DocuColor 12 
to use less power than when it is in Ready mode. 
Press the Low Power button again to bring the 
copier/printer into a warm-up cycle.Figure 3: Control Panel buttons

selected, and it is ready to copy. 
•The indicator light flashes to acknowledge that 
the Interrupt button has been pressed. It

Interrupt indicator light is on continuously (not 
flashing), a new job can be programmed.
After all interrupting jobs have been completed, 
press the Interrupt button again to exit the 
Interrupt mode and to return to the first job.

jobs:

•Multiple-Up
Interrupt should also not be used when you are 
using the Stored Jobs feature or when you are on 
the Access Number Entry screen or in Tools
