Understanding the Printer Menus
When your printer is connected to a network and available to a number of users, 
the access to the Admin Menu can be limited. This prevents other users from 
using the operator panel to inadvertently change a user default that has been set 
by the administrator. 
However, you can use your printer driver to override user defaults and select 
settings for individual print jobs.
 NOTE: The images used and procedures described in this manual are those of
