Other Operator Panel Tasks
The rest of this chapter contains examples of how to perform some other common
operator panel tasks. In addition, “Using the Paper Menu” on page 46 contains
examples of how you can use the operator panel to change Paper Menu settings, such
as default input trays and output bins, and default paper sizes. Chapter 9, “Configuring
Printer Network Addresses” on page 149 describes how to set TCP/IP network values
(IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, locally administered MAC address) from
the operator panel.
Making Duplex or Simplex Printing the Printer Default

only.

to the value, showing that it is active.
