Abstract

An operator panel for printers which includes visible function indicators as well as trigger elements for controlling printer functions has a single function operating and indicating field arranged in a matrix fashion with lines and columns wherein the lines indicate classes of functions and wherein a particular column includes designations as well as indications for the classes of functions; there is at the most one indication and/or one designation in any matrix intersection, a single key is associated with each of the columns; a second panel field is disposed alongside the first one, having a single operating key, and being individually organized commensurate with the lines and in a single column but being independent from said designations of the particular column.
