From the manual, here's the description of your control panel items:

1 Wireless light: (HP LaserJet 1320nw printer only) When the Wireless light is on solid, a wireless connection has been established. When the Wireless light is off, wireless operation is disabled. When the Wireless light is flashing, the printer is trying to establish a wireless connection.
2 Toner light: When the toner is low, the Toner light is on solid. When the print cartridge is out of the printer, the Toner light is flashing.
3 Attention light: Indicates printer media input tray is empty, print cartridge door is open, print cartridge is missing, or other errors. See Printer information pages for more information.
4 Ready light: Indicates that the printer is ready to print.
5 GO button and light: To print a demo page or to continue printing while in manual feed mode, press and release the GO button. To print a configuration page, press and hold the GO button for 5 seconds.
6 CANCEL button: To cancel the print job that is currently printing, press the CANCEL button.
