Chapter 3: Using the Operator Panel and Menus
Toner Darkness
(continued)
When you first enter Toner Darkness, the operator panel displays:
Notice the periods (
.) displayed across the second line of the operator panel. Each period
represents one of the numbers 1 through 10 from left to right. A symbol like a
v or an arrow
points to the location of the
8 value, which is the factory default.
A minus sign (
-) at the left end of the string of periods indicates you are scrolling to the lower
numbers in the string. A plus sign (
+) at the right end of the string of periods indicates you are
scrolling to the higher numbers in the string. If you decide to change the setting to
6,for
example, use
<Menu to scroll back to the 6.
As you scroll backward toward the minus sign (
-) indicating lower numbers, notice the v or
arrow symbol moves on the operator panel as you press the
<Menu button. It now appears in
place of the sixth period. Notice the numeral
6 displays next to the equal sign to indicate your
selection. A vertical bar (
|) indicates the factory default of 8. The vertical bar remains at 8
unless 8 is selected. Then, the arrow covers the vertical bar.
Press
Select to select 6 as your current setting. The Saved message displays.
