About the Configuration Menu
The printer’s configuration menu allows you change the default printer
configuration settings. Any changes made to the configuration will
reside as new default settings and affect all subsequent print jobs.
The options in the configuration menu are organized under these
main menus:
Operator Control Menu
Use this menu to select document processing options such as
copy count, choosing input and output paper bins, chaining input
bins, and duplexing (if a duplexing unit is installed). Document
processing selections are usually specified within individual jobs
since each job has its own requirements. However, if there’s no
way of specifying these selections within an application, use the
control panel to change selections, send the job, and then change
the defaults back.
» Note:
Defining document processing selections for a particular
job through the control panel is not recommended in a shared
environment. When many systems are using the same printer,
there’s no way of making sure that no other jobs are sent to the
printer while the defaults are changed. The Operator Control
menu may be password protected with an optional security card if
the system administrator does not want users changing defaults.
Administration Menu
Use this menu to maintain printer-host communication informa-
tion, and for selecting and configuring printer emulations, config-
uring special pages, printing engine calibration, and configuring
hard disks, if present.
