Control panel menus

Overview

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or software application. This is the most convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer control panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver, see Printer software.

You can also control the printer by changing settings in the printer’s control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software application. Use the control panel to configure trays for paper size and type.

Getting started basics

zEnter the menus and activate any selection by pressing the

SELECT KEY (✔).

z	Use the Up or Down arrows (	) to navigate through the
	menus. In addition to menu navigation, the Up and Down arrows
	can increase and decrease numerical value selections. Hold
	down the Up or Down arrows to scroll faster.
z	The Back button ( ) allows you to move back in menu selections
	as well as select numerical values when configuring the printer.

zExit all menus by pressing PAUSE/RESUME.

zIf no key is pressed for 30 seconds, the printer will return to the Ready state.

zA lock symbol next to a menu item means a PIN number is needed to use that item. Typically, this number is obtained from your network administrator.
