Understanding the MFP control panel
MFP and scanner settings can be changed several ways: through the MFP control panel, the software application in use, 
the print driver, MarkVision™ Professional, or the Web pages. Settings changed from the application or print driver apply 
only to the job being sent to the MFP.
Changes made to print, fax, copy, and e-mail settings from an application override changes made from the control panel.
If a setting cannot be changed from the application, use the MFP control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages. 
Changing a setting from the MFP control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages makes that setting the user 
default.
The MFP control panel consists of:

delete the character to the left of the cursor. If the entry is 
in a shortcut, the entire entry is deleted.
