Chapter IV: Operator Panel


A.	Functions

	Shows the operator panel (The buttons are described from left to right order.) Cancel - This button is square with a raised red X on it. Pressing this button during printing will stop the print job or clear error status. Resume - This button is triangular with one point oriented up, like an up arrow, and has a "play" symbol (a triangle pointing right) screen-printed on it. Pressing this button will resume a paused print job. When no print job is active, tapping this button will move paper to the top of form position and holding the button will feed the paper forward into the machine. Holding down this button on power up will initiate the embossing of a test page. The printer will load paper and emboss a single page which will test both print carriages. If this function completes without error, the embosser is functioning properly. Pause - This button is triangular with one point oriented down, like a down arrow, and has a pause symbol (two vertical bars) screen-printed on it. Pressing this button during the print job will interrupt the embossing. Continue the embossing action by pressing the resume button, or press cancel to abort the print job. When no print job is active, tapping this button will move paper to the top of form position and holding the button will feed the paper backward out of the machine.

B.	Displays

	Green light (power symbol) - This light is on when the embosser is powered and ready to receive data. It is blinking if the embosser is starting up, or if it is busy receiving data. Red light (warning symbol) - This light is blinking when the embosser's housing lid is open, or when an error occurs during printing. The specific errors are: out of paper, paper jam, embosser head position error, housing open, power fault or print job data corrupted. To clear the error status warning light, press the cancel button.

C.	Tones

	Error Alerts During printing, the printer driver monitors the status of the print job. If problems occur during printing, the embosser will inform the user of the error by showing a dialog box on the screen. This will only happen if the embosser is connected locally to the computer via the USB interface, or if it is connected to the network through its on-board LAN port. This will not happen with embossers networked through print servers or connected via BlueTooth connections. Paper Out - (High-Low) Load new print media to the embosser and press the cancel button to clear the error status warning. Now any print job which was sent but not printed before the error occurred should be sent again. Paper Jam - (High-Low-High) Remove the jammed paper and press cancel to clear the error status warning. Now any print job which was not printed before the error occurred should be resent. Alignment error / Emboss head stalled - (High-High_Low) Press cancel to clear the error status warning. Try printing again. If the problem persists contact ViewPlus Support. Print data error - (Low-High) Press cancel to clear the error status warning and send the print job again. Carriage stalled - (High-Low-Very Low) Turn the embosser off and on again. If this does not clear the error message, contact ViewPlus Support. Housing open - (Low) Close the lid of the embosser and continue operation. If error status warning does not clear, make sure the lid is closed securely against the main housing. An error message will be displayed if you try to print with the lid open. Power fault - (Long Low) Turn the printer off and contact ViewPlus Support. If you experience any other error, you will likely hear a sequence of three high beeps. To get more information about the error, go to the printer properties for your Elite or Premier embosser and find the specific error message in the printer status box on the Service tab.
