A number of menus are available to make it easy for you to change printer settings. The diagram shows the menu index on the operator panel, the menus,
and items available under each menu. The items in each menu and the values you can select are described in more detail later in this chapter.
Some menu items or values are displayed only if a specific option is installed on the printer. Other menu items may only be effective for a particular printer
language. You can select these values at any time, but they only affect printer function when you have the optional equipment or the specified printer
language.
Paper Menu
Use the Paper Menu to define the paper loaded in each paper tray, the default paper source, and the output bin.
Default Source
Paper Size/Type
This menu selection is used to set the size and type of media loaded into an input tray. Setting the paper size and type is a two-step process. In the first
menu selection, Size appears in bold letters. After you select the media size, the screen will change, and Type appears in bold letters. You can then select the
media type.
NOTE: An asterisk (*) next to a value indicates the default setting.
