Menu functions
The Printer Menu allows you to view and change the printer’s internal settings.
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.
Factory default settings are shown in the following tables.
