Normal Screen

This section explains the items of normal screen that is displayed on the printer's control panel.

If you make a setting when the printer is offline, the printer will remain offline afterwards.
The function items displayed serve as selector keys. You can select or specify an item by pressing it lightly.
When you select or specify an item on the control panel, it becomes highlighted.
Keys dimmed (for example,) cannot be used.
If “0” is set as the password for printer settings, entering password is not required to change the printer settings. To prevent unauthorized changes of the printer settings, we recommend the administrator to set a password. For the instruction on how to set the password, see “Setting the Password”.
