ABSTRACT:
A touch-screen interface of an operator control panel is provided on an imaging assembly, such as a printing assembly, and communicates the state of the printing assembly and its primary components to an operator, even when the operator is standing beyond a normal reading distance from the printing assembly. The touch-screen interface provides for a graphical representation in the form of icons or displays that show those components that are of interest to the operator during printing. This would include but is not limited to paper supply and paper take-up magazines, the center portion or printing area of the printer, and the current paper or media path. The icons or displays are laid out spatially on the operator control panel in an overhead view to match the layout of the printing assembly. Further, each of the displays or icons are sized large enough to be easily viewed and understood from well beyond a normal reading distance.
