The printer's rear lights
At the rear of the printer, above the power switch, are three small lights:
●
The amber light on the left is on when the printer is in sleep mode.
●
The blue light in the center is on when the printer is on (when it has electrical power).
●
The green light on the right is on when the printer is printing.
NOTE You should never see all three lights on at the same time, because the printer cannot
print in sleep mode.
The printer's internal prints
The internal prints give various kinds of information about your printer. They can be requested from
the front panel without using a computer.
Before requesting any internal print, make sure that paper is loaded (roll or sheet), and that the front
panel displays the Ready message. The paper should be at least 36 in (91.44 cm) wide, otherwise
the print may be clipped (HP Designjet 4000 series) or put “on hold for paper” (HP Designjet 4500
series).
To print any internal print, select the
icon, then Internal prints, then select whichever internal
print you want.
