Control Panel Menus

Note

Overview

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or software application. This is the most convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer’s control panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver, see page 15.

You can also control the printer by changing settings in the printer’s control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software application.

Printer driver and software commands override the printer’s control panel settings.

You can print a menu map from the control panel that shows the current printer configuration (page 11). This appendix lists all the items and possible values for the printer. (Default values are listed in the “Item” column.)

Additional menu items can appear in the control panel, depending on the options currently installed in the printer.
