Configuration

Menu

The options in the configuration menu are organized under three main menus:

nAdministration Menu

Use this menu to maintain printer-host communication informa- tion, and for selecting and configuring printer emulations, config- uring special pages, printing engine calibration, and configuring hard disks (if installed).

nInstallation Menu

Use this menu to establish passwords for the Operator Control and Administration menus. This menu displays only when an optional security card is installed.

nOperator Control Menu

Use this menu to maintain document processing options (number of copies, media type, and paper orientation).These capabilities are usually handled most efficiently within specific print jobs since each job has its own requirements. However, if there is no way of specifying these options within a job, you may do so from the control panel.

Accessing the Configuration Menu

To access the configuration menu, make sure the printer is idle (IDLE displays in the message window), then press the Online/Offline key to take the printer off line (the Online/Offline indicator is not lighted), and finally press the Menu key.

Example

The following table shows how to use the control panel keys to access the printer configuration menu. Press the control panel keys in the order shown. The printer responds by displaying a status message or configuration menu in the message window.
