[Printer] Indicator
The [Printer] indicator shows the current PC printing.
Entering and Exiting the PC Print Mode
When it is not being used in another mode, the machine will automatically
switch to the PC print mode when data is received from a computer. You
can also manually switch to the PC print mode from another mode by
pressing the [Printer] key.
The following are the rules that govern switching to or from the PC print
mode.
● If the machine is in the copy mode when a print command is executed
on a connected computer, it will switch to PC print if no operation is
performed in the copy mode for 30 seconds. This machine will not
receive print data unless 30 seconds pass after it has completed its
last copy operation.
● If PC print data is received while a fax operation is being performed,
the machine will switch to the PC print mode and print the data after
the end of the fax mode job is reached.
● If a high-priority PC print job is received while a low-priority fax
operation is being performed, the machine will interrupt the fax
operation and enter the PC print mode to print the job. The fax
operation will resume after the PC print job is complete.
