2.1. Control Panel

Control Keys
The control panel keys are used to configure the printer.
☛ Settings made with these keys effect only the
interface currently in use.
☛ Most of the panel functions can also be controlled by PRESCRIBE IIe commands or
commands generated by application software. The printer obeys the most
recently received printer settings sent from the application software, or from the
printer driver, which take priority over control panel settings.
