4.10.01 General Information
The end user can customize printer features by changing menu settings. These settings are automatically
activated when the printer is powered ON.
Selections made in Menu Mode are stored in the printers permanent memory. They will stay in effect,
even when the printer is powered OFF. However, they can be changed through software commands, the
front panel, and by resetting the menu. Changes made by software commands or the front panel are
canceled when the printer is powered OFF.
