Control-panel menus

Overview

Most routine printing tasks performed by the printer come from a computer using an application program or a printer driver. These two methods are the most convenient way to control the printer, and they override the printer control-panel settings. See the Help file for your program for more information.

Printer settings can also be changed by using the printer control panel. Use the control panel to gain access to printer features that are not supported by the software program or the printer driver.

The following control panel menus are available.

Retrieve job menu

Information menu

Paper handling menu

Configure device menu

Printing submenu

PCL submenu

Print quality submenu

System setup submenu

Stapler/stacker submenu

I/O submenu

Resets menu (“Resets submenu” on page 247)

Diagnostics menu (“Diagnostics menu” on page 248)

Service menu (“Service menu (service PIN codes)” on page 249)

Printing and changing control-panel menus

To see the current settings for the menus and items that are available at the control panel, print a control-panel menu map. You might want to store the menu map near the printer for reference.

For a complete list of menu items and possible values, see the menu tables in “Control-panel menus” on page 39. Certain menu options appear only if the associated tray or accessory is installed. For example, the EIO menu appears only if you have an EIO card installed.

2.Use the UP ARROW () button or the DOWN ARROW () button to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press the SELECT () button.

3.Use the UP ARROW () button or the DOWN ARROW () button to scroll to PRINT MENU MAP, and then press the SELECT () button.
