information, as described below:
• It displays a fault message for any slave printer that does not respond
to the master.
• The Printhead page (navigate to Tools > Diagnostics > Printhead)
contains a list of the printers in the group. Touch the name of a printer
to display information about the chosen printer, as given in Table 6-1.
