Off
The printer is off line and not
ready to accept data.
No problem.
The printer is not receiving
data.
Function
The Online key switches the printer between on line and off
line status.
When off line, the printer continues printing until it has fin-
ished all jobs received, but it doesn't accept any new data.
Although jobs continue to compile and print using the data
already received, a job may be interrupted.
If a remote console has taken the printer off line, pressing
the Online key on the control panel will not take effect until
the remote console puts the printer back on line.
You must take the printer off line before using all other keys
except the Cancel and Media keys.
Use the Media key to set the media tray to the correct media
type when switching between plain paper or transparencies
(Automatic) and other types such as envelopes, glossy
stock, labels, and thick stock (Thick Stock) to enable the
proper toner adherence.
In network mode, the user must select a special media type
both from the printer driver and from the printer's control
panel (the Media key). In single user mode, the user only
has to specify the type of media that you are printing on in
the driver. Failure to set the Media key when switching
media types results in unsatisfactory printing results.
On
The printer is on line and
ready to receive data from
any of its interfaces.
The printer requires operator
attention (usually accompa-
nied by a status message in
the message window).
The printer is receiving or
processing data through one
or more of its interfaces (usu-
ally accompanied by a status
message in the message
window).
