TOPIC
I have a LaserWriter 8500 on which the ready light flashes back and forth between yellow and green. The printer seems to operate normally otherwise. Can you explain?
DISCUSSION The flashing lights indicate that the printer is in point-of-sale mode. The printer will go into point-of-sale mode by holding down the ready light LED (which is also a button) while turing on the printer. When the printer comes to a ready state, pressing the ready button will produce a demo page from the printer. The printer will continue to function normally when in point-of-sale mode. To turn this function off, simply hold the ready LED down at power on once more. Alternatively, connect to the printer using Apple Printer Utility (version 2.2 or higher) and turn the "Enable Demonstration Page Button" feature on or off. For more information, see Chapter 1 and Appendix A in the LaserWriter 8500 user guide. |
