Installing a new overlay (HP Color LaserJet 4600 models) NOTE The HP Color LaserJet 4610n printer control panel is available in English only. You do not need to install an overlay or a label for this model. For the HP CLJ 4650 models, see Installing a new control-panel label (HP Color LaserJet 4650 models). Some printer models are shipped without the control panel overlay installed or you might prefer using a different overlay from the one that is installed. Overlays are available for several languages, and you can change the language for control-panel messages. If you are setting up a printer for a language other than English, follow this procedure. 1 Open the top cover. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to release the locking tabs on both sides of the control-panel overlay, and then remove the overlay. 2 Position the new overlay over the top of the control panel. Insert the left tab of the overlay into the slot on the printer face. Line up the tab on the right side of the overlay with the slot on the right side of the control panel. Set the overlay in place by pushing down on the overlay near the blue button. 3 Press to open the MENUS. 4 Press to highlight CONFIGURE DEVICE. 5 Press to select CONFIGURE DEVICE. 6 Press to highlight SYSTEM SETUP. 7 Press to select SYSTEM SETUP. 8 Press to highlight LANGUAGE. 9 Press to select LANGUAGE. 10 Press to highlight the approriate language, and then press choice. to select and save the language ENWW Covers and external components 189
