4.2 The Menu System
Printer operation can be controlled through the user interface from the following six menu system
branches:
• Media Settings
• Print Control
• Printer Options
• System Settings
• Communications
• Diagnostics
While in the menu system, the current selection will be indicated with an asterisk (*) next to the displayed
item. Selections designated with a section symbol (§) will require a printer reset before becoming
effective. A reset will be automatically invoked when exiting the menu system and answering ‘Yes’ to the
‘Save Changes’ prompt. Changes made will be saved. When power is removed, the new settings will be
restored upon power-up.
The same functional commands from your host computer may, in some cases, override the printer’s menu
settings. In addition, the menu system has a password protection feature to prevent accidental or
unauthorized parameter changes; see Section 4.2.5: System Settings / Security for details.
 Notes: (1) In the following subsections, the factory default settings are denoted with the ‘’ symbol. Selections
denoted with a diamond (♦) can only be changed through the menu system – all other selections can
be overridden by host software commands. Consult the Class Series Programmer’s Manual for specific
information.
(2) For PE users converting to the A-Class, a Menu Constraint Cross-Reference, which details the
differences between the printer menu items and functions, has been included in Appendix C.
