Control-panel menus
Most routine printing tasks that the printer performs originate from a computer software program or a
printer driver. These two methods are the most convenient way to control the printer, and they
override the printer control-panel settings. See the Help file for your program for more information.
Printer settings can also be changed by using the printer control panel. Use the control panel to gain
access to printer features that are not supported by the software program or the printer driver.
The following control panel menus are available.
■ Retrieve-job menu
