2 The control panel
Overview
The MFP control panel has a touch-screen graphical display that offers an integrated approach to copying, e-mail, and printing.
The control panel provides you with all of the features of a standard photocopier, plus printing and e-mail capabilities. Use the control panel to describe the features of the original document, to specify any modifications to the scanned image, and to select the features that you want in the copy. For example, you can describe the original document as an A4-sized, duplexed, text document, and then you can apply scaling or contrast changes in the copy. Next, select copy options such as tray and paper size to be used for copying. The graphical display shows a representative image (page icon) of both the original document and the copy.
In addition, use the control panel menus that to set system defaults, customize settings for a particular job, and store and retrieve printed and scanned jobs.
