The front panel
The front panel is a touch-sensitive screen with a graphical user interface; it is located on the front left of the printer. It gives
you complete control of your printer: from the front panel, you can print, view information about the printer, change printer
settings, perform calibrations and tests, and so on. The front panel also displays alerts (warning and error messages) when
needed.
The front panel has a large central area to display dynamic information and icons. On the left and right sides you can see up
to six xed icons at dierent times. Normally they are not all displayed at the same time.
To the right of the front panel is the Power key, with which you can turn the printer on or o. The key is illuminated when the
printer is on. It ashes when the printer is in transition between on and o.
