Using the Control Panel
As shown in figure 3-1, this printer’s control panel has only two buttons: J

ANCEL
and G
O
.
Pressing one of these buttons or a combination of the two does the following:
• Cancels print jobs.
• Resumes printing when the printer is paused.
• Prints a demo page or a self test/configuration page.
• Initiates a continuous self test.
• Performs a cold reset or an NVRAM initialization.
• Reveals secondary information (for example, LED messages).
Other printer configurations must be performed via PJL commands or using the LaserJet
configuration utility. See “Service Mode” (page 51) for more information.
