Ready indicator lights must be lit.

[MP Paper Size] Only active when MP Tray is set to cassette (select MP TRAY=CASS in the
Configuration Menu). Selects size of paper loaded in MP Tray. Pressing [Enter]
saves your selection. (See Chapter 3 for more information about the MP Tray.)
[Enter] Saves a control panel key setting you selected. An asterisk (*) appears next to

place when the printer is switched off or reset.

coded to match it. Hold down while pressing an associated key.

a problem is encountered. When an option is added to the printer (PostScript,

Panel Menu” in this chapter.)
