Menu Functions
This section describes the menu functions and their categories.
 
Menu Functions
Before printing, specify the total print pages, paper size, etc. Generally, these 
settings are specified in an application or printer driver.
This printer, however, is equipped with many functions as well as the settings for 
the total print pages and paper size, enabling printing for a wide array of uses. 
Some settings for this printer cannot be specified by application or printer driver. 
You can specify these settings using the menu functions.
Y ou can specify the settings using the menu functions easily because in the menu 
functions a variety of settings are classified by purpose.
There are the following two kinds of procedures for specifying the menu functions.
■ Settings Using the Printers Control Panel
Specify the settings by pressing the keys while checking the display on the printer.
■Settings Using the Remote UI
Some settings specified by the control panel can be specified by a web browser from your 
computer.
NOTE
•For this section, this manual describes only the procedures for specifying the menu 
functions using the control panel. For details on specifying the settings using the Remote 
UI, see Remote UI Guide.
•The settings for the menu functions are registered to the memory (NVRAM) in which data 
is not deleted normally even if the printer is turned OFF. Therefore, even after cycling the 
power of the printer, it starts with its settings unchanged from when the printer was 
turned OFF last time.

Menu Functions
 
Setting Priority
When the setting values for the same option are different between an application or 
the printer driver and the menu functions, the setting specified in the application or 
printer driver is effective. When specifying a setting only in the menu functions 
using the control panel or the Remote UI, the most recently specified \
setting is 
effective.
The printer driver and Remote UI are supplied with this printer. For details on using 
the printer driver or Remote UI, see Help of the printer driver, and Remote UI 
Guide.
Depending on the settings, they become effective after cycling the power of the 
printer or performing a hard reset.
 
Menu Categories
There are the following six categories of the menu.
For the functions and operation procedures, see Menu Functions and Menu 
Operation, on p. 4-9.
