Operator Panels
This chapter describes the function of the operator panel on your
printer. It is useful to describe the Configuration Tool at this point
as it provides the B411 with the equivalent of the menu control
panel on the B431.)
Note
The Configuration Tool was installed as part of the
software installation described in the Setup Guide
supplied with your printer.
13 > B411/B431 Operator Panels

Tool and select the Configuration Tool.
2.Click Tools > Register Device.

Menu functions
The B411 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.
18 > B411/B431 Operator Panels
For example, if you have set the number of copies in the
Configuration Tool to one, this will be overridden if you select
three copies of your document in the printer driver.
