Menu Structure and How to Use Control Panel Buttons

The menu mode is structured as a tree consisting of submenus, items, and options. The following example shows a small portion of the tree and illustrates how the four buttons work. (Fig. 2-6)

Submenus are PAGE FORMAT MENU and QUALITY MENU. Items are COPIES, PAPER, and SMOOTHING. Options are 001, 002, LETTER, LEGAL, ON, and OFF.

Once the printer is in menu mode, selects the first submenu and moves you right to the next submenu. If you are on the last

submenu, pressing returns you to the first submenu.

When a submenu is selected, selects the first item of the

submenu. Once the first item is selected, moves you right to the next item, regardless of an option selected. If you are on the last

item, pressing returns you to the first item.
