Using the
Control Panel
The Control Panel is used to set various printer operations and to print
test sheets.
Setting the Printer
Table 3.4, starting on the next page, lists the most common printer
setting tasks, organized by menu and menu item. The examples show a
printer set for PCL 5e emulation with A4 paper in both upper and lower
tray (
PCL 5e A4/A4
). Your settings may be different.
For an alphabetical listing of menu items (and more detailed
descriptions), see Table 3.6 on page 3-23.
For each task listed in Table 3.4, you will find:
• All possible choices for the item to be set. The choice shown in
bold
is the
factory default setting
.
• The key press sequence to complete the task.
• For each key press, the action/response, along with the message
displayed. ‘=X’ indicates the current setting, ‘=N’ indicates a new
setting, and the asterisk (*) indicates that the new setting has been
entered.
Note
You can normally control the printer’s operation through your
applications, such as specifying how many copies of the print job you
want.
