6. Alignment and Adjustments
This chapter describes some of the main service procedures including: Using the EDC mode; Clearing paper jam and test patterns. Much of this chapter is also included in the user's guide.

6.1. Control Panel
6.1.1 Overview
- The CLP-300 printers do not have LCD panel which is used in other color model printers. On the contrary to other models of color printers, they show the status of the printer only with their LEDs. - The CLP-300 printers have 2 keys and 6 LEDs. The `User Interface' module handles the processing of the `Key Press' and `Led control' at different states of the machine.

6.1.2 Architecture
KEY (2 key): Stop key, Black only key LED (6 LEDs): 4 LED for CMYK toners : toner-low(cyan, magenta, yellow, black) LEDs 1 LED for status : ready (green) or error(red) status LED (two color LED) 1 LED for Black only: If Black only key is pressed, Black only led glows.

6.1.3 Data and Control Flow
User interface (panel) is made up of - KEY input detection & process - LED control The initial process to use the panel checks register°Øs values of key and LED. If user input key value, the operation to be defined by key value is processed and the LED operation to be defined by printer status is controlled.

6.2 Function
6.2.1 KEY Function
There are two keys present. The one is Stop key and the other is Black only key. If users input key value, the key input is transferred via GIP (General Input Port) and the operation to be defined by key value is processed.

6.2.1.1 Functions Stop key function is made up of - Demo page/Configuration sheet printing function - Job cancels function - Start manual feeding function - Firmware downloads mode function Black only key function is made up of - Change printer mode to Black-only mode function - Black only LED light function

6.2.1.2 Detail Description KEY input detection & process order 1) User KEY input 2) KEY input detection : If the key input is detected when the key input check per timer tick 10ms, The 10ms interrupt service routine sends the key detection event to panel task. 3) KEY input process Stop key input process : After the panel task is received the Stop key detection event, it checks the engine error status two times and process the operation to be defined by key value. - Demo page/Configuration sheet function This button will have multiple functions when the printer is in idle state. Demo page printing Press and hold this button for about 2 seconds until the control panel lights blink slowly to print a demo page. Configuration sheet printing Press and hold this button for about 6 seconds until the control panel lights blink rapidly to print a configuration sheet. - Job cancels function When the printer is printing an active printing job, press and holds this button until the control panel lights blink to cancel a job the printer is currently except the manual job. - Start manual feeding function When you select manual feed for paper source, press this button each time you feed a sheet of paper manually. The application of manual feeding function in CLP-300 will be determined

- Firmware downloads mode function Turn on the printer at the same time that the button is pressed. If all LEDs scroll, release the button and download the firmware ROM file via USB port Black only key input process : After the panel task is received the Black only key detection event, it changes printer mode to Black only mode and notifies driver that the printer mode is changed to Black only mode. If printer mode is Black only mode, driver makes printer image by only mono excepting color and the Black only LED glows.

6.2.2 LED Function
There are six LEDs present. Status led indicate the error/online status of the printer in idle mode. In error mode, the status LED glows by red color and in ready mode, it glows by green color. The other four LEDs indicate the toner status. If the black toner needs to change, the toner-low (black) LED glows and if the color (yellow, magenta, cyan) toners need to change, the toner-low (yellow, magenta, cyan) LED glows. Black only LED indicate the printer mode. If the users press the Black only button, the printer mode changes to Black only mode and Black only LED glows.

6.2.2.1 Functions LED function is made up of - Ready/Printing status display - Error status display - Toner low status display - Black only status display

6.2.2.2 Detail Description LED control order 1) Control LED according to current printer state : After the panel task is received each event, the LED operation is controlled by current printer status. 2) Write LED value to GOP (General Output Port)

Always pull firmly and evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur again. If a paper jam occurs, the Status LED on the control panel lights red. Find and remove the jammed paper. To resume printing after clearing paper jams, you must open and close the front cover or rear cover. 1. To remove the jammed paper, open the rear cover. 2. Carefully remove the paper by pulling in the direction as shown below. Most of the jammed paper can be removed in this step.

If you cannot find the jammed paper, or if there is any resistance removing the paper, stop pulling and go to the next step.
