Printing Basics
Buttons and Lights
The buttons on the front of your hp deskjet 990c printer enable
you to turn the printer on and off, cancel a print job, or resume
printing. The lights provide you with visual cues about the state of
your printer. The buttons and lights from left to right are:
Cancel Button – Press this
button to cancel the current print job
in the printer.
Print Cartridge Status Light –
When lit, the light above this symbol
indicates that you need to check the
status of your print cartridges. See
“Print Cartridge Status” on page 35.
Resume Button and Light –
Whenever the light above the Resume
Button flashes, press the Resume Button to continue printing. See
“What do the flashing lights mean?” on page 51.
Power Button
and
Light – Use the Power Button to turn the
printer on and off. The green light above the Power Button flashes
when the printer is processing information.
Infrared (Ir) Lens – Use the infrared lens to print from an
infrared sending device such as a Palm Pilot or PowerBook. See
“Infrared (Ir) Printing” on page 18. When the light to the right of the
infrared lens displays a solid beam, the infrared device is
transmitting information to the printer.
Use only the Power Button on the front of the
printer to turn the printer on and off. Using a power
strip, surge protector, or a wall-mounted switch to
turn the printer on and off may cause premature
printer failure.
