The LCD is a 2 line by 16 character per line reflective display with a light
emitting diode (LED) backlight. The LCD displays system information on the
SLPA when performing system set-up procedures, print batch status during
operation, and system information in a fault condition.

Keypad

The keypad is used to place the SLPA in operation, to perform calibration or
testing, or to modify the systems operating parameters.
The keypad functions as two key groups: SLPA control when the SLPA is
online, and menu option setting when the SLPA is offline. The use of one key
group will not interfere with the use of the other key group. The function of
each indicator and key is defined in Table 1.
