two lines, use (UP button) and (DOWN button) to scroll through the entire topic. To exit the Help system, press (HELP button) again.

Note

Printer-driver settings override control panel settings. Software program settings override both

 

printer-driver settings and control panel settings.

 

If you cannot gain access to a menu or item, it is either not an option for the printer, or you have

 

not enabled the associated higher-level option. See your network administrator if a function has

 

been locked (Access denied menus locked appears on the printer control panel display).
