MarkVision’s remote operator panel

The MarkVision utility has a remote operator panel that displays an exact replica of the printer operator panel on your computer screen. You can use the remote operator panel to check printer status and change printer settings just as you would on the actual printer operator panel. If the printer is located some distance from your computer, it may be more convenient to use the remote operator panel on your computer.

In addition to the remote operator panel, some versions of MarkVision also provide a way to view many of the menu items for one menu on a single screen. If you need to make several changes to settings in the Paper Menu, for example, you may find it easier to make those changes when you can see all of the menu items and their available values at one time. Using this option eliminates the time required to scroll through the various menu items and values when using the operator panel and its two-line display.
