Hiding/Unhiding Menu Items
The Configuration Editor allows you to hide menus to make the operator
panel menus easier to use, or to restrict printer operators from accessing
certain printer configuration menu items. If you choose to hide a menu item in
the Configuration Editor, the hidden menu item still loads into the printer when
the configuration downloads to it. However, the hidden menu item does not
appear on the operator panel.
The Configuration Editor displays hidden menus in gray on the menu tree.
When a menu item is hidden, all of its sub-menus are hidden as well.
In Figure 55, the Display Language menu item is hidden. The Display
Language menu item cannot be changed from the operator panel.
IMPORTANT
Depending upon the active emulation, active interface, or hardware
attached to the printer, some menu items cannot be hidden on the
operator panel, even though they may be defined as "hidden" in the
PMU.
You can still change hidden menu items using the Menu Editor.
You can hide or unhide menu items in three ways:
1. In the menu bar, select View Hide/Unhide Menus. With this menu
option, you may hide or unhide individual items, sub-menus or the entire
configuration.
2. Using the Menu Editor. See page 70.
3. Using the keyboard. From the menu tree, select a menu item. A selection
box appears around the selected menu item. Press H to hide the menu
item or U to unhide the menu item. (To change these keys, select
File Preferences in the printer database window. See page 27.)
