Before You Start Using the Machine
Menu Functions
This chapter describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display.
What Are Menu Functions?
The machine lets you specify the number of copies, the paper size, etc., to use when it receives a print job. Normally, however, these types of settings are specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver.
However, you can specify many other settings other than the number of copies, the paper size, etc., which affect the printer function of the machine. These include some settings that cannot be specified from an application or the printer driver. These settings are referred to as “Menu Functions.”
The menu functions are set using the keys on the touch panel display and are grouped together depending on the type of settings performed. This makes them easy to set.
NOTE
•The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine. This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched off - the settings will still be available when the power is switched on again.
Understanding the Printer Settings Priorities
When the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on the machine, or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver has priority. These settings will override the settings made on the machine.
