Control Panel Menus B-1

Control Panel Menus

Overview

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer

through the printer driver or software application. This is the most

convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer’s

control panel settings. See the help files associated with the

software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver,

see page 23.

You can also control the printer by changing settings in the printer’s

control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not

supported by the printer driver or software application.

Note Printer driver and software commands override the printer’s control

panel settings.

You can print a menu map from the control panel that shows the

current printer configuration (page 16). This appendix lists all the

items and possible values for the printer. (Default values are listed

in the “Item” column.)

Additional menu items can appear in the control panel, depending

on the options currently installed in the printer.
