functions just as in the standard control panel.
In addition, it has two keys, which allow easy navigation and selection
of menu options affecting many printer functions.
The
“Scroll” button allows scrolling through the various options and settings.
The “Select” button allows selection of the option or function
displayed on the screen.

The top of the screen has a row
of status icons, which indicate the state of various printer functions:
|
|
Indicates
that the printer is associated with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN).
This icon is functional only with QL 320N network printers. |
 |
A
flashing icon indicates low battery status. You should suspend any
printing operations and recharge or replace the battery Pack as soon as is
convenient. |
 |
A flashing icon indicates that the media cover is open or not properly latched. |
 |
A
flashing icon indicates that a file is being downloaded to the printer. |
 |
A
flashing icon indicates that the printer does not detect any media.
This could indicate an out of media condition, or improperly loaded
media. |
In
addition to the status icons, the LCD control panel can display many of the
printer’s settings and functions as text.
Applications can be written to allow the user to view and /or modify
these settings using the scroll and select keys on the display.
Refer to the “LCD Functions Table” on the following page for the full
set of printer features that can be made available with the LCD panel.
The LCD has a backlighting option, which allows viewing of the screen in a dark environment, or provides better contrast in a very bright environment. Use of the display backlight will decrease the time the printer will run between charges.
