Control panel menus You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or software application. This is the most convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer control panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver, see Printer software. You can also control the printer by changing settings in the printer’s control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software application. Use the control panel to configure trays for paper size and type. Getting started basics ● Enter the menus and activate any selection by pressing the Menu button. ● Use the Up or Down arrows ( ) to navigate through the menus.
