Changing printer-control-panel configuration settings

By using the printer control panel, you can make changes to general printer configuration default settings such as tray size and type, sleep delay, printer personality (language), and jam recovery.

The printer-control-panel settings can also be changed from a computer by using the setting page of the embedded Web server. The computer shows the same information that the control panel shows. For more information, see Using the embedded Web server.

CAUTION Configuration settings seldom need to be changed. Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that only the system administrator change configuration settings.
