Introduction
This chapter explains special tasks you perform occasionally to adjust your

control panel. Many of these functions can also be performed using the
software that came with your printer. Refer to Chapter 2, “Software for your
Printer,” or the online help files associated with the software for more
information.
For more information about the printer’s control panel, see Chapter 4,
