A Control panel menus

Overview

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer by using the program or printer driver. These two methods are the most convenient way to control the printer, and they will override the printer control panel settings. See the Help file for your program, or, for more information about gaining access to the printer driver, see “Gain access to the Windows printer driver” on page 31.

You can also control the printer by changing settings at the printer control panel. Use the control panel to gain access to printer features not supported by the program or printer driver.

Understanding the menus

You can print a menu map at the printer control panel that shows the settings with the currently selected values. (See “To print a control panel menu map” on page 26.) The sections that follow list the settings and possible values. In the Values column, the default value for each setting is the one with an asterisk (*) next to it.

Some menus or menu items appear only if certain options are installed in the printer. For example, the ENVELOPE FEEDER TYPE menu item appears only if an optional envelope feeder is installed in the printer. Quick Copy and Stored Job both require that an optional hard disk is installed in the printer.
