ENU FUNCTIONS
The Configuration Tool 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.
In the Configuration Tool, click the Device Setting tab. The settings are grouped into
categories or “User Menu” 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 Print Menu settings to one, this
will be overridden if you select three copies of your document in the printer driver.
