Component Function
1 Operator panel The operator panel helps you with your daily work, for
example the scheduling of the jobs. Furthermore, the
operator panel helps you to solve errors or perform
maintenance tasks (see The operator panel on
page 22).
2 Operator attention
light
The operator attention light enables you to check the
status of the system from a distance (see The operator
attention light on page 28).
3 Roll feeder (optional) A roll feeder is an optional device that adds paper input
capacity to your printer. When you use a roll feeder, you
can only use 1 or 2 paper modules. A combination of 3
paper modules and a roll feeder is not possible. The op-
erator panel displays the roll feeder and gives feedback
about the status of the roll feeder. For example whether
the roll is full or empty. Please refer to the documenta-
tion of the roll feeder manufacturer for more informa-
tion, for example about replacing an empty roll.
4 Paper module The paper module contains 4 paper trays. The paper
trays contain the media that will be printed. The default
configuration of the system contains 1 paper module.
You can add 1 or 2 more paper modules to the default
configuration to increase the media input capacity (see
The paper modules on page 26).
5 Engine module The engine module contains the components that print
the media. Access to the engine module is only required
when a paper jam occurs or when maintenance is re-
quired. The doors at the left-hand side and right-hand
side of the engine module give access to the toner units. 4
