PRINTER MENU SETUP TOOL

After installing the printer driver software onto your computer, the Printer Menu Setup Tool is then automatically installed. See “Printer drivers” on page 37. This Printer Menu Setup Tool is used to control and change the various printer settings.

MENU FUNCTIONS

The Printer Menu allows you to view and change the printer’s internal settings. You can think of this as the software equivalent of the LCD operator panel.

The settings are grouped into categories or “menus” such as Information Menu or Print Menu.

Some of these settings are similar to those found in your printer driver or application software. The settings that you can change using this software act as the printer’s defaults. These can be overridden by the settings in your printer driver or application.

For example, if you have set the number of copies in the Printer Menu settings to one, this will be overridden if you select three copies of your document in the printer driver.

Information menu

This menu provides a quick method of listing various items stored within the printer.
