B Control panel menus

Overview

Note

Note

The control panel menu layout represents an attempt to show the menus used by all end users while protecting the menus used by administrators. End users will typically use the first three menus of the list. Administrators and service technicians will use the other items, which can be protected by a personal identification number (PIN).

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the driver or software application. This is the most convenient method to control the MFP, and will override the MFP control panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information about how to gain access to the driver, see Helpful software for increased flexibility. If you cannot access a menu or an item, it is either not an option for the MFP, or your network administrator has locked the function. (The control panel displays the message ACCESS DENIED MENUS LOCKED.) See your system administrator.

Driver and software commands override the MFP control-panel settings.

From the control panel, you can print a menu map that shows 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 currently installed in the MFP.

This appendix lists all the items and possible values for the MFP. (Default values are listed in the “Item” column.)

For more information about the HP output devices, see the User Guide that came with the device.

This appendix includes information about the following topics:

The Retrieve job menu shows jobs stored on the MFP. Jobs are listed by user and job name. See Job storage features for information of how to store jobs.

The Information menu lists printable menu map and other information pages.

The Paper handling menu is used to set the paper type (and size, if it is not detected) for each tray.
