All of the Link-OS Desktop printers have five common status indicators.
These five indicators help you identify issues. The individual indicators tell you the general area of interest. The indicators may be off or on in a variety of lighting patterns of red, green, or amber (orange/yellow). The status indicators can flash (blink), fade (bright to off), alternate between colors, or just remain on. The status information that these lighting patterns represent is detailed in this section.
