On-Screen Programming

User-Friendly Programming

We have designed your Multi-Function Center with on-screen programming and a Help key. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your MFC has to offer.

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen prompts to help you program your MFC. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and programming options and settings.

Function Mode

You can access the Function Mode by pressing Function . The screen displays

	1	.FAX	2	.PRINTER
	3	.COPY	4	.VIDEO
Then press 1	for Fax Functions—		OR—press 2		for Printer Functions
— OR—press	3 for Copy Functions— OR—press				4 for Video Functions.

When you enter Function Mode, your MFC scrolls a list of main menu options from which you can choose. These menu options appear one after the other on the display. Select a menu by pressing Set when the option appears on the LCD. The LCD will scroll the options within that menu.

You can scroll more quickly through options by pressing . Use to scroll backward if you passed your choice or to see options in the opposite order. When the screen displays your selection, press Set .

When you finish a function, the screen displays ACCEPTED.

If you want to exit the Function Mode, press Stop .
