    Using the Control Panel
    Using the Control Panel Menus
    You can use the printer’s control panel to access a variety of 
    menus that allow you to check the status of consumable products, 
    print status sheets, and make printer settings. This section 
    describes how to use the control panel menus, and when it is 
    appropriate to make printer settings using the control panel.
    When to make control panel settings
    In general, printer settings can be made from the printer driver, 
    and do not need to be made using the control panel. In fact, printer 
    driver settings override settings made using the control panel, so 
    use the control panel menus only to make settings you cannot 
    make in your software or printer driver, including the following:
    ❏Changing the emulation modes and selecting the IES 
    (Intelligent Emulation Switching) mode
    ❏Specifying a channel and configuring the interface
    ❏Choosing the size of the memory buffer used to receive data
    How to access the control panel menus
    For a complete description of the items and settings available in 
    the control panel menus, see  Control Panel Menus on page 225.
     
    						
    							224Using the Control Panel 1. When the printer’s Ready light is on, press the Enter button 
    to access the control panel menus.
    2. Use the uUp and dDown buttons to scroll through the 
    menus.
    3. Press the Enter button to view the items in a menu. 
    Depending on the menu, the LCD panel displays an item and 
    the current setting separated (YYYY=ZZZZ), or only an item 
    (YYYY).
    4. Use the uUp and dDown buttons to scroll through the items, 
    or press the lBack button to return to the previous level.
    5. Press the Enter button to carry out the operation indicated 
    by an item, such as printing a status sheet or resetting the 
    printer, or to view the settings available for an item, such as 
    paper sizes or emulation modes.
    Use the uUp and dDown buttons to scroll through available 
    settings, then press the Enter button to select a setting. Press 
    the lBack button to return to the previous level without 
    changing the setting.
    Note:
    You need to turn the printer off and then on to activate some settings. 
    For details, see  Control Panel Menus on page 225.

    Emulation Menu
    Use this menu to select the printer emulation mode. You can 
    specify different emulations for each interface; in other words, for 
    each computer you connect the printer to. Since each emulation 
    mode has its own specific options, make settings in the LJ4, 
    ESC P2, FX, GL2, or I239X menu, as necessary. The settings you 
    can choose from are the same for every interface.
    *1Available only when an optional Type-B interface card is installed.
    *2Available only when an optional P5C module is installed.
    Printing Menu
    This menu allows you to make standard print settings, such as 
    Page Size and Orientation, when printing from an application or 
    operating system that does not support your printer driver. Be 
    sure to use the printer driver to make these settings whenever you 
    can, since settings made on your computer always override these 
    settings.
