The KeysThe Control Panel keypad consists of eight keys, 
identified with international symbols and/or labeled in 
English. The keys are also numbered 0 - 7. (Control Panel 
overlays are available in some languages and are supplied 
with the printer where applicable.)
Table 1.2 describes the function of each key.
Table 1.2 Control Panel keys and their functions
KeyDescription
Online• If the Printer is On-line and not in the Menu system, pressing this key causes a 
transition to Off-line. All pages currently in the paper path are printed and then 
printing pauses until the printer is placed On-line. Status information via SNMP is 
provided while in the Off-line state. Data are still accepted over all network 
interfaces, and page formatting continues as long as memory is available. The 
exception is the Parallel port running in the Compatibility mode, or the Serial port. 
In Parallel, Off-line forces the “Select” line false and forces the “Fault” line true. In 
Serial, Off-line sends an XOFF if this handshaking mode is selected, and forces the 
DTR line false. 
• If the printer is On-line and in the Menu system, pressing this key exits the menu 
system. The printer remains On-line.
• If the printer is Off-line and not in the Menu system, pressing this key causes the 
printer to change to the On-line state, provided no operator intervention condition 
exists. This key is ignored if an operator intervention condition exists.
• If the printer is Off-line and in the Menu system, pressing this key exits the Menu 
system. The printer state changes to On-line, provided no operator intervention 
condition exists. 
• If in the Password menu, and the display indicates “Enter Password”, pressing this 
key causes a password digit “0” to be entered.

vDocuPrint NC60 System Administrator Guide Enter• If the current display is a value for an item, pressing this key causes the value to be 
entered as the default value for this item. The currently displayed value is 
immediately loaded in NVRAM. The display then returns to indicate the current 
menu on the top line and the current item on the bottom line.
• Some values require a power cycle before taking effect.
• If the current display is an action to be invoked (e. g. “PCL Font List”, “Restart 
Printer”), pressing this key causes the action to take place. Following the action, the 
display returns to indicate “Ready” on the top line.
• If not in the Menu system, and the “Press Enter” LED indicates that a partial page 
exists, pressing this key causes an implied PCL reset and the partial page is printed.
• If a paper mismatch condition exists, and a request to load paper is displayed, 
pressing this key causes printing on the media currently loaded in the selected tray 
(Print Anyway). See Value Up or Value Down for more information.
• If in the Password menu, and the display indicates “Enter Password”, pressing this 
key causes a password digit “1” to be entered.
Menu Up ( )• If in the menu system, pressing this key causes the Control Panel to scroll through 
the menus in order bottom to top unless a higher priority message is displayed, 
which preempts menu navigation. Menu scrolling is available without going to the 
Off-line state. Scrolling wraps, such that if the displayed menu is the top menu, 
pressing this key scrolls to the bottom menu.
• If an item, value or action is displayed, pressing this key returns to the top of the 
current menu and removes the display of the item, value or action. 
• If not in the menu system, pressing this key enters the menu system and displays 
the first menu, Job Menu.
• If in the Password menu, and the display indicates “Enter Password”, pressing this 
key causes a password digit “2” to be entered.

the last menu.
• If in the Password menu, and the display indicates “Enter Password”, pressing this 
key causes a password digit “3” to be entered.
Item Up ( )• If in the menu system, pressing this key causes the Control Panel to scroll through 
the items in the current menu in order bottom to top unless a higher priority 
message is displayed, which preempts menu navigation. Scrolling wraps, such that 
if the displayed item is the top item, pressing this key scrolls to the bottom item. If a 
value is displayed, pressing this key returns to the current item in the current menu 
and removes the value from the display.
• If not in the menu system, this key is ignored.
• If in the Password menu, and the display indicates “Enter Password”, pressing this 
key causes a password digit “4” to be entered.

Panel to scroll through the values for the current item in order bottom to top unless 
a higher priority message is displayed, which preempts menu navigation. Scrolling 
wraps, such that if the displayed value is the top value, pressing this key scrolls to 
the bottom value. If no value for the current item is displayed (Item key was pressed 
but Value key not yet pressed for this item), pressing this key displays the default 
value for the current item. When setting a numeric value, pressing this key increases 
the value by the step amount. It is subject to auto-repeat if held down for more 
than 1 second, after which the value scrolls repeatedly until the key is released. The 
increment for each step may be greater than that for a single key press.
• If not in the menu system, and a paper mismatch condition does not exist, this key 
is ignored.
• If a Paper Mismatch condition exists, pressing this key scrolls through the alternate 
media that may be used instead of the requested media.
• If in the Password menu, and the display indicates “Enter Password”, pressing this 
key causes a password digit “6” to be entered.

Menu SymbolsTwo menu symbols (= and *) are used to furnish 
information about menus and settings. The purpose of 
each symbol is described in Table 1.3 below.
Table 1.3 Symbols found in the Control Panel Menu systems
SymbolPurposeExample
=When at a point where a value may be changed, the item 
name is displayed on the top line with the 
= symbol in the last 
character position, and the selected value is displayed on the 
bottom line. 
The example at the right tells you that Language is an option 
that takes a specific setting. One setting for the Language 
option is Français. Another setting is English. (The list of 
available settings is displayed one setting at a time on the 
bottom line of the display as you press 
Va l u e  U p or 
Va l u e  
Down.)
Language =
Français
*When first arriving at a point where a setting may be changed, 
the current value is displayed on the bottom line and a 
* 
symbol appears next to it in the last character position. Pressing 
Up Value or Down Value scrolls through the possible values. 
Whenever the current value is displayed, the 
* is displayed in 
the last character position. Pressing Enter causes the 
* to 
display in the last character position for the new value. Since 
pressing Enter causes the display to indicate the current menu 
and current item, the asterisk may not be seen until the item 
and current value is displayed again by pressing a Value key.
The example at the right tells you that Language is currently set 
to English.
