Description

Allows you to optimize certain parameters for all jobs rather than (or in addition to) optimizing by paper type. The default for each item is OFF.

RESTORE OPTIMIZE resets all of the values to OFF.

Performs all printer calibrations to optimize print quality.

Prints a cleaning page to be used for cleaning the printer. This page contains instructions for processing the cleaning page. See Cleaning the printer for more information.

After the cleaning page is loaded in Tray 1, this menu item allows the printer to process the cleaning page. The cleaning process takes a few moments. See Cleaning the printer for more information.

System setup menu

The system setup menu allows you to make changes to default settings for general printer configuration, such as PowerSave Time, printer personality (language), and jam recovery. See Changing printer control panel configuration settings for more information.
