Chapter 2: Changing printer settings
Using the
operator panel
The operator panel on the top of your printer has a 2-line
by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), five buttons,
and one indicator light.
The light indicates whether the printer power is on and
whether the printer is idle or busy processing a job.
Use the five operator panel buttons to open a menu, scroll
through a list of values, select printer settings, and clear
error messages. Detailed instructions for changing a
printer setting begin on page 9.
