OneTouch mode setting options
Using SelecType
The SelecType button accesses a series of menus and
options that are shown on the control panel display.
Although you can set some of the SelecType options
through your driver software, you need to use the printer’s
control panel to access functions like the following:
❏ Checking the amount of toner remaining
❏ Changing the memory buffer size
❏ Configuring interface channels
❏ Changing emulation modes
Changing SelecType Settings
You can look at your current SelecType settings by printing
a status sheet. To do this, wait until the printer warms up
(Ready appears on the control panel display and the On Line
light is on); then press the Enter button twice.
Note:
Some application programs may send commands to your printer that
override SelecType settings. If you do not get the results you expect from
SelecType, check your application software settings to see if they affect
your output.
If you need to change SelecType settings, follow these
steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the On Line light is
on.
2. Press the Menu button on the control panel.
You have now entered SelecType mode, which changes
the functions of the control panel buttons as described in
the table below.
3. Press the Menu button to select the SelecType menu that
includes the setting you want to change. Then press the
Item and Value buttons as necessary to change the setting.
4. Press Enter to save the new setting.
5. Press On Line or SelecType to exit SelecType mode.
See the next section for tables describing all the SelecType
menus and settings.
