Understanding printer menus

You may print a menus list by printing the menu settings and network setup pages. Access the menus from a networked
printer by using the Embedded Web Server. From a printer connected by USB or parallel cable, access the menus by
using the Local Printer Settings Utility for Windows or Printer Settings for Macintosh.

Installing the Local Printer Settings Utility

The Local Printer Settings Utility lets you change and save settings for a printer that is connected to a computer locally
through a USB or parallel cable. After installing this utility, you can change settings of such controls as Toner Darkness,
Power Saver, Paper Size, and Paper Type. Once selected, these settings apply to all print jobs, but you can use the
printer software to change these settings for individual print jobs.
You can also save custom settings in a command file to distribute these settings to designated printers by using the
Save As Command File option.
