Setting the Printer
T h e C o n t r o l P a n e l
The Control Panel is used to set various printer operations and to print test sheets.
Table 3.4, starting on the next page, lists the most common printer setting tasks, organized by menu and menu item. The examples show a printer set for PCL 5e emulation with A4 paper in both upper and lower tray (PCL 5e A4/A4). Your settings may be different.
For an alphabetical listing of menu items (and more detailed descriptions), see Table 3.6 on page
For each task listed in Table 3.4, you will find:
•All possible choices for the item to be set. The choice shown in bold is the factory default setting.
•The key press sequence to complete the task.
•For each key press, the action/response, along with the message displayed. ‘=X’ indicates the current setting, ‘=N’ indicates a new setting, and the asterisk (*) indicates that the new setting has been entered.
You can normally control the printer’s operation through your applications, such as specifying how many copies of the print job you want.
