Uses of the Operation Panel
The operation panel provides access to many of the printer’s features and functions. Available options
include the ability to:
1.
Print configuration, demonstration, and test pages. These test pages provide information useful for
enhancing the printer’s performance or diagnosing printing problems.
2. Change the printer configuration parameters to work more efficiently with specific software
applications. Figure 4-2 provides a complete flow chart of the touch panel’s display menus.
3.
Set up the network IP address and network port operation. (If no network interface card has been
installed, these settings do not appear.)
4. Use key operator programs to adjust printer settings, such as the exposure setting to control
contrast on printed documents. Refer to
Key Operator Programs in this chapter.
