Problem indicators— LEDs on a printer icon at the left of the operator panel
indicate where a problem such as a paper jam occurs.
Paper jam auto-eject drawers—after a paper jam, you can usually
automatically clear the jammed paper by opening one or two auto-eject
drawers.
Traces—the 3130 can perform several kinds of traces, which record details
about printer activities and communications with the control unit and the
controlling computer system to assist service personnel.
Print samples—several print sample masters are stored in the 3130 control
memory. Key operators can print these print samples whenever necessary to
sample print quality or solve problems.
Authorization levels—You can have one or more persons designated as a
key operator. The key operator performs tasks such as configuring the printer,
cleaning the printer, adding new toner, and replacing supplies.
You can specify that certain operator actions be password-protected; in other
words, only the person who knows the password will be able to perform certain
key operator functions.
Toner cartridge—the 3130 monitors the toner supply and alerts the operator
when it should be replenished. In addition, automatic toner recycling reduces
the amount of toner the 3130 uses.
Error log—sensors and other error-checking hardware detect status in the
printer. Information about errors is displayed to the operator and logged for
use in correcting problems.
Data Security
The 3130 has the following data security features:
You cannot read data from the 3130 back into the controlling computer system.
You cannot print data that remains in memory after a job is finished.
Images on the photoconductor are removed after each print.
The control unit accepts commands from the host to erase all residual print
data and fonts from its memory.
You can specify non-spooled mode for most ASCII jobs. Refer to
