Operating and Configuring the Printer
This chapter explains how to use the control and menu panels to operate your printer.
It also contains information on how to change the printer configuration settings and
how you can add options to your printer to enhance printer operation.

Using the Control Panel

You can operate many features of the printer directly from the control panel
instead of through a host computer. The control panel provides direct
communications with the printer for tasks such as advancing media or
canceling the current print job.
