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

*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 lighting state and the blinking state overlap, the blinking state takes priority.

Lighting pattern 2
The center light comes on, the left and right lights come on, then the center light turns off.
Lighting pattern 3
