Appendix B Control panel menus 172
Overview
B Control panel menus
Overview
The control panel menu layout represents an attempt to show the menus used by all end users while
protecting the menus used by administrators. End users will typically use the first three menus of the list.
Administrators and service technicians will use the other items, which can be protected by a personal
identification number (PIN).
You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or software
application. This is the most convenient method to control the printer, and will override the printer control
panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information about how to gain
access to the printer driver, see
“Helpful printer software for increased printing flexibility” on page 17 .
Note Printer driver and software commands override the printer control panel settings.
From the control panel, you can print a menu map that shows the layout and current settings of the control
panel menu items (See
“Menu map” on page 154 ).
Additional menu items can appear in the control panel, depending on the options currently installed in the
printer.
This appendix lists all the items and possible values for the printer. (Default values are listed in the “Item”
column.)
Note For more information about an optional HP output device, see the user guide that came with the
device.
