Connectivity LED
The connectivity LED provides information about product operation. If a product error occurs, the formatter
displays a message on the control-panel display. However, error situations can occur causing the formatter-
to-control panel communication to be interrupted.
NOTE: HP recommends fully troubleshooting the formatter and control panel before replacing either
assembly. Use the connectivity LED to troubleshoot formatter and control panel errors to avoid
unnecessarily replacing these assemblies.
