Chapter 4. The Configuration Menus

Configuration Overview

This chapter describes the configuration menus. The Configuration Main Menu

options and all of the submenu options are illustrated in menu diagrams and

described in detail. For procedures showing how to enter Program mode, save,

recall, and print configurations, refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer,” on

page 19.

Figure 11 on page 50 shows an overview of the configuration menus.

The menus that are displayed from the operator panel are determined by the

installed features. For example, if you ordered the IPDS feature, then the IPDS

menu would appear on the operator panel. If the IPDS feature is not installed,

then the IPDS menu will not appear on the operator panel.

Each feature is shipped with a document that describes the feature in detail.

For more information about these documents, see “Related Documents” on

page xii

The

configuration menu diagram on page 50 shows the structure of the

configuration menus and the parameter options available in each menu. The

diagrams list the menus and options in the order they appear when you use the

operator panel to configure the printer. Factory default configuration values are

indicated by an asterisk (*).

Pressing the operator panel keys (Enter, Return, ↑Scroll/Micro, and ↓Scroll/Micro)

allows you to move through the menus and select various choices for the options,

as follows:

v The Enter key allows you to move down to a lower level in the menu structure,

and to select an option value as the active value.

v The Return key moves you back up the menu structure.

v The ↑Scroll/Micro key moves forward through the options at a particular menu

level.

v The ↓Scroll/Micro key moves backward through the options at a particular

menu level.

These

keys are summarized in a legend box at the lower right corner of each

configuration menu diagram.
