Graphical control panel menus

Newer printer/MFP devices support graphical control panels, which can consist of a numeric keypad, navigation buttons, and touch-screen displays.

For HP Jetdirect menus, graphical control panels typically display 18 characters on a line, and as many as four lines at a time. Scroll support allows display of additional lines.

NOTE: These menus apply to printers/MFPs with an HP Jetdirect embedded print server, or that contain an EIO slot in which an HP Jetdirect EIO print server is installed. The displayed menu items depend on the features supported by the print server.
