Definitions

  • the invention relates to a graphical user interface and a method for displaying a fault condition of an electrophotographic printing or copying system. Further, the invention relates to a graphical user interface and method for assisting in eliminating a fault condition of an electrophotographic printing or copying system and a system and method for automatically generating messages in an electrophotographic printer or copier.
  • Known electrophotographic printing and copying systems include control units with display and input units that display user interfaces.
  • a text message usually with an error code
  • the error messages were displayed with the aid of an error list, the so-called error journal or the so-called error list, in which or in the messages of several errors that have occurred can be stored.
  • an operator could then determine the cause of the error and take steps to correct the problem. The number of such a service center of the printer or copier manufacturer has been specified in the manual of the printer or copier.
  • a new spare part or new consumable is reordered by filling out an order form, which then becomes the service center of the Printer or copier manufacturer by fax or post.
  • a display device for a copying machine in which patterns or diagrams are printed on a display panel, and when a fault condition occurs, these patterns or diagrams are displayed with a light source arranged behind them through a color filter. When the light source is activated, individual elements in the color "yellow” and other elements in the color “red” can be displayed.
  • the multimedia user interface provides information to a user about the operation of the printer or copier control. Further, the user interface is for assisting an operator in clearing an error condition.
  • a system for determining the replacement of a component in a printer in which the printer sends a component exchange message to a computer connected via a network.
  • This computer can then, for example, send a fax with an order / information to a dealer.
  • a monitoring and billing system is known in a printer or copier.
  • the monitoring and billing is done by means of counts, which are detected by a counter in the printer or copier.
  • an operating unit which contains display elements which contain a red and a green lamp.
  • only one error condition can be displayed with this operating unit.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a graphical user interface, a system and a method for an electrophotographic printing or copying system, in which a simple and fast fault indication is possible.
  • a graphical user interface By a graphical user interface according to the invention according to claim 1 an operator errors and potential faults or warnings are signaled by a color-changed display field, with disturbances in particular error states of the electrophotographic printing or copying system.
  • An operator thus recognizes immediately, ie at a glance, that the electrophotographic Printing or copying system is in an undisturbed operating state, in an operating state with a fault or in an operating state with a potential fault, especially in an alarm or warning state.
  • the operator can thereby continue to take quick and targeted measures for error correction and to minimize the effect of a fault. For example, the operator can forward print jobs to other printing or copying systems.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a graphical user interface having the features of patent claim 8.
  • a third aspect of the invention relates to a method of indicating a fault condition of an electrophotographic printing or copying system.
  • an operator can quickly and easily obtain information about the operating state of the electrophotographic printing or copying system, allowing the operator to immediately take further steps for troubleshooting or preventing a malfunction.
  • FIG. 1 a first graphical user interface 10 is shown according to a first example.

  • the display field 14 is displayed in a gray tone, which stands out from the background of the section 12 optically only with low contrast.
  • the display panel 14 is activated upon the occurrence of a fault, so that the display panel 14 is colored substantially in a yellow color, whereby a relatively strong contrast to the background of the section 12 is formed.
  • the exclamation mark in the center of the display panel 14 is still shown in black.
  • a second display panel 16 is activated after the occurrence of a fault. Similar to the display panel 14, the display panel 16 is shown in a deactivated state in a gray tone. The arranged in the middle of the display panel 16 cross is shown in a white color. Thus, the display panel 16 falls into a normal operating state in which no fault has occurred, not striking the operator's eye. After the occurrence of a disturbance, the display panel 16 is substantially colored in a red color which is substantially high in contrast to the background of the section 12. This will cause the display panel to appear 16 in section 12 visually strong. An operator is thus informed very quickly and clearly about the operating state of the printing system. To distinguish the warning state and the fault state, the display panel 14 further has a triangular and the display panel 16 has a round shape.
  • Section 12 further includes a text output field 18 in which the current operating state is output as text.
