Control Panel Operation
The control panel is made up of three elements: a liquid crystal
display (LCD) panel, indicator lights, and buttons. The LCD panel
and indicator lights tell you the current status of the printer, and
you can use the printer buttons to select settings and functions.
However, settings made in application software and the printer
driver usually override settings made in the control panel.

❏ SelecType menus, such as Emulation Menu, allowing you to
control printer modes, font selection, paper handling, and
many other printer functions.
