Vague design choice

  Start black and start color?

    This is the correct answer. There’s even a slight plastic indentation to let the user know that both of the buttons in question are “start” buttons.

      That’s also how I saw it. Nonetheless, that’s really poor design.

      I didn’t notice the indent until you pointed it out. It’s probably slightly more apparent in person

    Technology Connections would say: Read the manual.

  Red is stop, white is start in black and white mode, green is start in color mode.

    Pretty easy to figure out huh? The poster must be a dum dum

      It would also be “easy to figure out” if each button had a different color and there was a table of what each color did. Neither design is good, though. No one should have to “figure out” what such a simple set of buttons does

      The problems with it are so apparent, defending it makes me think you just wanted to argue about something today lol

  A few of you mentioned the “indent” - I never even saw it until I zoomed way in on the photo I took after you mentioned it. I can’t even see it in person. My vision isn’t great, but I think that suggests even more strongly a bad design.

    You shouldn’t need an indent to make it clear what all the buttons do lol

    Terrible design.

    Completely valid as accessibility is extremely important and not having it accessible for people with poor vision automatically makes it a bad design

  Yes ! and the button on the far right is for toggling wifi.

  This honestly straightforward…

  As we can see on the left, this seems to be a scan, copy, and fax device.

  The white and green buttons are labeled with Start. The white one is labeled with black [Start], and the green one is labeled with Color [Start]. The red button is labeled with Stop to stop the process and Exit to exit menus.

  It’s so obviously clear! /s

  Looks fine, no issue with the design.

  Push the white button to make it start in Black mode.

    Careful you don’t get shot by police

  Obviously, the labels are above the button they correspond with unless the label is underneath its button.
