Message Display
The message display gives information in the form of short messages. The six messages listed
below are displayed during normal warm-up and printing.
Other messages appear when the printer needs the operator's attention as explained in Chapter 5.
Interface Indicator
The interface indicator shows which of the printer's interfaces is currently active. It uses the follow-
ing abbreviations:
3$5 Standard bi-directional parallel interface
6(5 Serial interface (RS-232C/RS-422A)
237 Optional interface
The 3$5, 6(5, or 237 indicator flashes when the printer is receiving and has received all the
data, and then remains on.
Resolution Indicator
This shows the current printing resolution. The default is 600 dpi (dots-per-inch) in the HP LaserJet
5M and KPDL emulation mode and 300 dpi in other emulation modes. The printer's resolution can
be selected using the printer's control panel (See the last page in this manual.).
