    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 151.
     
    						
    							150Using the Control Panel 1. When the printer’s Ready light is on, press the Enter 
    button to accesses 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, and press the Enter button to select a setting and 
    return to the previous level. 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 151.
