Key Explanation
[Go]
The [Go] key replaces the On Line, Form Feed and Continue keys from previous HP LaserJet
printers. The [Go] key performs six main functions:
• Switches the state of communication between computer and printer either on (on line) or off (off
line).
• Prints any data remaining in printer’s buffer. Does
not
send a blank sheet of paper through the
printer.
• Allows the printer to resume printing after a printer message has placed it off line. Clears most
printer messages and places the printer back on line.
• Overrides paper or envelope size selection regardless of size of media in Tray 1, optional
Envelope Feeder, Tray 2, or Tray 3.
• Confirms a manual feed request if there is media in Tray 1.
• Overrides a request to manually feed paper or an envelope by selecting paper from the next
available source instead.
[Job Cancel]
The [Job Cancel] key deletes a print job from the printer:
• Press [Job Cancel] to cancel a job that the printer is currently processing. The printer will
display CANCELING JOB, clear the printer buffer, and return to a READY state. This may take a
while, depending on the size of the print job.
If [Job Cancel] is accidentally pushed the job must be reprinted. There is no undo function.
If [Job Cancel] is pushed when the printer is idle, NO JOB TO CANCEL will appear briefly, and
then a READY display will reappear.

Press [Menu] to cycle through the printer control panel menus. Press the [>] end of the key to
move forward through the menus. Press the [<] end of the key to move backward through the
menus.
When an option is added to the printer (PostScript, for example), a menu for that option appears
in the sequence. See “Control Panel Menus,” in this chapter, for more information.
[Item]
Press [Item] to cycle through the selected menu’s items. Press the [>] end of the key to move
forward through the items. Press the [<] end of the key to move backward through the items
Menu items vary depending on options installed and configuration of other menu choices.
[- Value +]
Press [- Value +] to cycle through the selected item’s values. Press the [>] end of the key to move
forward through the values. Press the [<] end of the key to move backward through the values.
[Select]
The [Select] key saves a printer control panel setting you selected. An asterisk (*) appears next
to the saved selection, indicating that it is the default. Default settings remain in place when the
printer is switched off or reset.
The [Select] key is also used when printing a test page or configuration page from the printer
control panel.
