Menu Settings

When to use Menu mode

The Menu mode lets you select printer settings similar to those you would normally select in the driver or software, plus other settings, directly through the control panel.

Note:

Some applications may send commands to the printer that override the Menu settings. If you are not getting the results you expect, check your application’s settings.

To see the current Menu settings, print a status sheet. See "Printing a status sheet" on page 136.
