Buttons
Use the five operator panel buttons to open a menu, scroll through a list of values, change printer settings, and respond to
printer messages.
Note: Buttons act on the information displayed on the second line of the operator panel.
The following information describes the functions of each button.
If your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, it is possible that Menus Disabled appears
on the display when you press Menu from the Ready state. Disabling the menus prevents other users from using the
operator panel to inadvertently change a printer user default that has been set by the administrator. You can still clear
messages and select items from the Job Menu when printing a job, but you cannot change other printer settings. However,
you can use your printer driver to override printer user defaults and select settings for individual print jobs.
