B Control-panel menus

Overview

The control-panel menu layout shows the menus that everyone uses while protecting the menus that administrators use. Everyone typically uses the first three menus in the list. Administrators and service technicians use the other items, which can be protected with a personal identification number (PIN).

Perform most routine printing tasks from the computer by using the printer driver or the software program. These settings override the printer control-panel settings. See the Help files that are associated with the software, or, for more information about the printer driver, see Gaining access to the printer drivers. If you cannot open a menu or use an item, it either is not an option for the printer or your network administrator has locked the function (ACCESS DENIED MENUS LOCKED appears on the control panel). See your system administrator for more information.

Note

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

At the control panel, you can print a menu map that indicates the layout and current settings of the control-panel menu items (see Menu map).

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

This appendix contains information about all the items and possible values that are available on the printer. (Default values are listed in the “Item” column.)

For more information about an optional HP output device, see the user guide that came with the device.
