This light is used to communicate with users in front of the machine, therefore this is not lit as a result of remote operations.

Lighting patterns

Lighting patterns differ depending on status.

Lighting color Lighting patterns Status

Blue

Lighting pattern 1

When the power is turned on by user operation or motion sensor, when the power is turned off by user operation, when the power is restored from sleep mode*1, when the power is shifted to sleep mode*1, and when a job (copy, scan, fax) is started by the operation panel.

Lighting pattern 2

During user authentication, at user login using an IC card or NFC Insertion of USB memory into the machine

Lighting pattern 3

When users are made to wait, during image quality adjustment or adding toner

White

Blinks

A fax is being received. when the job separator (upper tray) or exit tray unit (right tray) is used for output, this blinks until the output is removed.

Orange

Solidly*2

Errors that do not stop machine operation, such as replacement timing of the toner collection container.

Blinks*2

Errors that stop machine operation, such as misfeeds and out of toner.

*1 The information lamp lights up when the power is turned on or off directly by the user, or when the machine is restored from sleep mode. The information lamp does not light up when the printer is not operated directly by the user, such as when receiving a print job or when the scheduled auto power shut-off is turned on or off.

*2 If the lighted state and the blinking state overlap, the blinking state takes priority.

Lighting pattern 1
After lighting sporadically, all lights come on together, and then turn off.

Lighting pattern 2
The center light comes on, the left and right lights come on, then the center light turns off.
Lighting pattern 3
Lights come on in succession, from the left lamp to the right lamp.
If there are multiple lighting patterns for the information indicator, then that which is later has priority. The previous information indicator lighting pattern turns off, then the information indicator lights in accordance with the later generated lighting pattern.
However, if lighting pattern 3 and another lighting pattern overlap, then lighting pattern 3 will have priority, and the other pattern will not be received until lighting pattern 3 is completed.
