case the printer will display the Save Configuration menu, otherwise, the printer will go Online.

Save Temporarily. Menu changes will be implemented, but will not be saved once the printer is
powered off.

Cancel Changes. This option causes the printer to reload the Active Configuration, then go Online.

Restore Factory. This option will cause the printer to reload the Factory Configuration, then go
Online.
