The Control Panel's display performs two functions.
• It informs you of printer status conditions, such as
when toner is low, when a paper tray is empty, when a
job is in process, and so on. For example, when you
turn on the printer, the display will show after
warming up:
Ready
This message appears whenever the printer is online
and ready to accept print jobs. The display will also
show:

Waiting
