Setting the Printer Online and Offline
While the printer is on, it can be set online or offline.
When the printer is online, the printer can accept data from the computer to
execute a print job. The printer enters the online mode automatically every
time the printer is switched on.
When the printer is offline, the printer cannot receive data to execute a print
job. The printer must be set in the offline mode to use the operation panel to
open the menus and make selections. The printer enters the offline mode
automatically when an error message alerts you about a problem so you can
perform the procedure to correct the problem.
When you are finished performing settings with the operation panel and
display, or after you have corrected an error, press the Online button to set
the printer online again for printing.
