Using the operator panel to change printer settings

From the operator panel, you can select menu items and associated values to print your jobs
successfully. You can also use the panel to alter the setup and operating environment of the printer.

• Changing an On/Off setting
• Changing a numerical setting
To select a new value as a setting:

From a Ready status message, press Menu. The menu names appear.

Continue to press and release Menu until you see the menu you need.

Press Select to select the menu or menu item on the second line of the display.
• If the selection is a menu, the menu is opened and the first printer setting in the menu
appears.
• If the selection is a menu item, the default setting for the menu item appears.
(The current user default setting has an asterisk [*] beside it.)
Each menu item has a list of values for the menu item. A value can be:

one second, clears, displays the word Saved, and then displays the previous list of menu
items.

default settings. Press Go if this is the last printer setting you want to change.

settings you select from the operator panel.
