Menu Settings
When to use Menu mode
The Menu mode enables you to make printer settings similar to those you would normally make in the driver or software, as well as other additional settings -- directly through the control panel.
Note: Some applications may send commands to the printer that override the Menu settings. If you are not getting the results you expect, check your application's settings. To see the current Menu settings, print a status sheet.
