The status panel is divided into three areas:
- The left side will indicate the status of your toner cartridges when they are low in toner.
- The right side of the status indicator lists the maintenance lights which let you know when consumables such as the OPC, Oil, Fuser and Toner disposal box are in need of service.
- The lower part of the indicator panel contains alert lights. They illuminate when there is a problem that needs your attention.
The alert light should glow when there is any action needed, such as replacing a toner cartridge that is low or a Photoconductor that is in need of replacement.
Finally, there are also indicators on the diagram of the printer, located in the center of the status panel, which will direct you to the physical location in the printer where action is needed. For example, replacing the fuser assembly. In this case the light that corresponds to the location of the fuser will illuminate as well as the alert light and the fuser indicator on the left side of the status panel.
