The display panel is located on the front of the PC Scan. There are six indicators that light in different combinations to get the status of the PC Scan.
When you first turn the PC Scan on, all of the indicators and the number 8 are illuminated during the self-test. When the PC Scan is turned off, the indicators are not visible.
The Power-On, Wait and Ready indicators are located in the lower-left portion of the display panel and indicate whether or not the PC Scan is ready to read pages.
The Code indicator in the center of the panel provides you with specific information on functions the PC Scan is performing or what kind of operator assistance or service is required.
The Operator Assistance Required and Service Required lights indicate that the PC Scan requires attention before it can continue to operate.
The color of the indicator lights is also functional: green for Power-On and Ready, yellow for Wait, and red for indicators displayed when the PC Scan requires attention.
The following are illustrations of indicators displayed during normal operation.
The 8 code and all of the indicators are illuminated when the power
switch of the PC Scan is turned on. The indicators remain on while the PC Scan
performs a self-test to make sure all of its functions are operating properly
When your PC Scan has completed its self-test, a 0 code is illuminated
along with the indicators shown in this illustration. This display indicates
that the PC Scan is waiting for software to be loaded.
After your PC Scan software program is loaded (see software user’s
guide), the two green lights are illuminated as shown in the illustration. These
lights indicate that the PC Scan is ready to read pages. While a page is being
read, the green Ready light is replaced temporarily by the yellow Wait light.
When the PC Scan cannot read pages, the Operator Assistance Required indicator comes on until the condition is corrected. A code number that identifies the condition is also displayed.
