Understanding the Printer Parts

Understanding the Operator Panel

You can use your printer to do a variety of things. A few important things to note:

If the printer is connected to a computer, you can use either the printer operator panel or the printer software to produce quality documents.

You do need to connect your printer to a computer to print, scan, or use the Save Photos to Computer function or the Print Files mode.

You do not need to connect your printer to a computer to make photocopies, send faxes, or print from memory cards or a PictBridge-enabled camera.

NOTE: The printer (whether it is connected to a computer or not) must be connected to a telephone line before you can send a fax.

NOTE: If you use a DSL modem for your computer, you must install a DSL filter on the telephone line attached to your computer.
