»Note: Defining document processing options for a particular job through the control panel is not recommended in a shared environment. When many systems are using the same printer, there’s no way of making sure that no other jobs are sent to the printer while the defaults are changed. The Operator Control menu may be password-protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.

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).

»Note: For information on printer-host communication using the Ethernet interface or any of the Administration/Communications/ Network/CrownNet options, see chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” in the QMS CrownNet System Administrator’s Guide on the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM. The Administration menu may be password protected with an optional security key if the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.

nInstallation Menu

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

Accessing the Configuration Menu
