Using the operator panel69
Understanding the operator panel
The following information describes the functions of each button.
If your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, it is possible that
Menus Disabled appears on the display when you press Menu from the Ready state. Disabling the
menus prevents other users from using the operator panel to inadvertently change a printer user
default that has been set by the administrator. You can still clear messages and select items from the
Job Menu when printing a job, but you cannot change other printer settings. However, you can use
your printer driver to override printer user defaults and select settings for ind ividual print jobs.
