Important
1. To see a list of menus you can access and options you have installed, print a
printer configuration page. See Printing the Printer Configuration Page on

2. Note that several of the menus and menu items listed in this book appear on
your operator panel only if you have a particular option installed.
3. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus, please
read Using the Operator Panel Keys on page 10 and Navigating Menus on
