Navigating Menus — Two Examples
There are two types of menus: action menus and configuration menus.
Action Menus
Action menus contain a list of items you can select to perform specific actions, such as
printing a list of active fonts or printing a printer configuration page. There are two
action menus: the Test Menu and the Machine Info Menu.
To work with action menus:
1. Make sure the printer is offline. If the printer is online, press the Online key to
take it offline.
2. Press the Menu key to display the menu you want.
3. Press the Item key to display the action item you want.
4. Press the Enter key to perform the action you selected.
For an example of working with an action menu, see “Example 1 — Printing the Printer
Configuration Page” on page 32.
Configuration Menus
Configuration menus contain lists of items that define current settings for the printer,
such as default fonts, default input trays and output bins, and attachment configuration
settings.
To work with configuration menus:
1. Make sure the printer is offline. If the printer is online, press the Online key to
take it offline.
2. Press the Menu key to display the menu you want.
3. Press the Item key to display the item you want.
4. Press the Value key to display the value you want.
5. Press the Enter key to change the setting to the value currently displayed in the
message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value after it is selected.
Note: Once you select a new value, it stays selected until you change it or you reset
the printer defaults. Menu settings are saved when you power off the printer.
For an example of working with a configuration menu, see “Example 2 — Reducing
Toner Usage” on page 36.
