Display
The display usually shows the current printer status. When you operate the
control panel, you can change settings interactively on the display.
When you turn the printer off-line, the display changes to show the
currently selected emulation and informs you that you can make settings
in the current emulation.
If any problems occur, the display shows the corresponding operator call,
error, or service call message to prompt you to take an action. For more
information on these messages, see “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter
7.
