User-friendly programming
Your MFC is designed to be easy to use with LCD on-screen 
programming using the navigation keys. User-friendly programming 
helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your MFC 
has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-
by-step on-screen instructions to help you program your MFC. All 
you need to do is follow the instructions as they guide you through 
the menu selections and programming options. 
Menu table
You can probably program your machine without the User’s Guide. 
But to help you understand the menu selections, and options that are 
found in the MFC programs, use the Menu table on page 3-3.
You can program your MFC by pressing Menu/Set followed by 
the menu numbers. 
For example to set 
FAX RESOLUTION to FINE:
Press Menu/Set, 2, 2, 2 and   or   to select 
FINE. 
Press Menu/Set.
