2.1. Control Panel
2-5
Control Keys
The control panel keys are used to configure the printer.
☛ Settings made with these keys effect only the interface cur-
rently in use.
☛ Most of the panel functions can also be controlled by PRESCRIBE 2e commands or commands gen-
erated 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 set-
tings.
