30 2 Using the Printer Control Panel EN
When to Use the Printer Control Panel Menus
The printer control panel menus allow you to select items such as the
number of copies and test pages. Use the printer control panel to
perform the following tasks:
z Set the media type for each input tray and the size for tray 1
z Job management:
• Continue a proof and hold job
• Quick copy a job
• Job storage
• Private printing
z Step through the control panel help messages
z Switch between online and offline status
z Print configuration pages
z Set the printer defaults when the application does not support the
option
z Change the printer's EIO configuration
z Print a file directory page to identify the fonts and macros
available on the printer hard disk
z Adjust duplex registration
Using the Printer Control Panel in Shared
Environments
The printer control panel functions in a network or other
shared-printer environment in the same way as it does when it is
connected to a standalone computer. Follow these guidelines before
you change printer control panel settings:
z See the system administrator before making printer control panel
changes. Any printer control panel changes could affect other
print jobs.
z Coordinate setting the default printer font and downloading fonts
with other users. Coordinating these operations conserves
memory and reduces the chances of unexpected printer output.
