5-2 Overview
Overview The touch-screen control panel shows you the printer’s current
status, and enables you to interact with the printer when chang-
ing media and ink, respond to an error condition, or configure
options.
The control panel provides various forms of online user
assistance:
The ? button provides an explanation of the current function,
with some guidance for what to do next.
The ATTN (Attention) key blinks on the control panel when the
printer detects an error condition, potential error condition, or
when you make a change that suggests recalibration or other
action to ensure best print quality. There are two types of ATTN
messages:
• Actions — the printer has detected an error condition that
stopped printing or will prevent printing from starting. You
must correct the error before the printer will be ready to print.
• Warnings — the printer has detected a condition that, if left
unaddressed, could result in substandard prints or a condi-
tion that will require an action before printing can continue.
Any action on your part is optional. Printing is not inter-
rupted for a Warning message.
When the printer issues one of these messages, the ATTN key
will blink, and an alert beep will sound (unless disabled, see
page 5-13). Press the ATTN key to display a list of message
titles, and select a title to display a detailed cause-and-recovery
screen.
If you choose to not correct a Warning condition and resume
printing, the ATTN key will remain displayed, but will not blink
until the printer issues a new Warning or Action message. The
messages can be dismissed by correcting the condition, or by
pressing the applicable key on the detail screen.
Tip To disable the ATTN key, switch to Expert Mode.
Expert mode routes most messages to an Actions &
Warnings menu option. See page 5-12 for instruc-
tions on choosing Expert mode.
