( RESET MENU )

Pressing MENU briefly puts the printer in menu mode which allows you to set up the printer, for example, selecting a paper size, changing a font, and adjusting serial interface parameters. You can select options from the menu by using the four buttons, MENU , + , - , and ENTER .

Pressing RESET MENU for five or more seconds in menu mode resets all parameters to the factory default values except interface settings (parallel menu, serial menu, and network menu).

The following section briefly explains the menu mode and its operation.

Menu Functions The menu mode allows you to change your printer’s defaults using the four buttons on the control panel. You can use the control panel's menu mode to configure your printer to suit the requirements of your computer, software, and documents.

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)

In the example:

Submenus are PAGE FORMAT MENU and QUALITY MENU. Items are

COPIES, PAPER, and SMOOTHING. Options are 001, 002, LETTER,

LEGAL, ON, and OFF.

MENU selects menu mode when the printer is ready and offline. Once the printer is in menu mode, MENU selects the first submenu and moves you

right to the next submenu. If you are on the last submenu, pressing MENU returns you to the first submenu.

When a submenu is selected, ENTER selects the first item of the submenu. Once the first item is selected, MENU moves you right to the

next item, regardless of an option selected. If you are on the last item, pressing MENU returns you to the first item.
