General use of your printer
Determining whether your printer is processing data
When your printer is processing data for a print job, the Ready indicator
flashes. The Data indicator lights and remains steady when the printer places
data into the print buffer. Table 2-1 of the User’s Guide incorrectly states that
the Data indicator flashes in this situation.
Explanation of the ‘‘WAITING’’ message
You may see PCL WAITING or PS WAITING on the front panel while the
printer is processing a print job. This message indicates that your printer is
waiting for additional data from the host to complete the print job. Normally,
the WAITING message lasts for only a few seconds, reflecting minor delays in
the host computer sending information to the printer. If this message persists,
you may have an application software or system problem.
Appearance of the test pages
Section 2.4 of the User’s Guide provides figures that illustrate the several
test pages that are built into your printer. Some of these illustrations do not
reflect the actual test pages. The PostScript and PCL menus pages have been
modified to more closely reflect the printer Set-Up menu features and several
of the pages have had some design enhancements.
PostScript information
Limitation on interrupting print jobs
Section 2.2 in the User’s Guide describes how to interrupt a PostScript print
job during printing. You may be unable to interrupt some PostScript print jobs
using this method, particularly if the PostScript code is compute-intensive.
If this occurs, you may need to use your printer driver or host software to
interrupt the print job, or power off your printer.
