Understanding the Control Panel
Introduction
You can perform most routine printing tasks from your computer, through
your software applications. Software is usually the most convenient way to
control your printer. Many of the functions described in this chapter can
also be performed using the software that came with your printer. Refer to
Chapter 2, ±Software for your Printer,² or the online help files associated
with the software for more information.
The commands in your software override control panel settings. Use the
control panel only to access printer features not supported by your software.
Some special tasks can only be performed from the printer³s control panel.
(See Chapter 5, ±Special Tasks.²)
If you use the PostScript language option, see Chapter 6, ±PostScript
