Configuration Menu
QMS 1725E Print System Reference 4-4
Using a Remote Console
Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control
panel can also be made through a remote console if you’re connected
to a network via an optional network interface. To avoid confusion in a
shared printing environment, only the system administrator should
make configuration changes.
» Note: If a remote console has the printer off line, pressing the Online/Offline
key will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.
Configuration Menu
The printer’s configuration menu allows you change the default
printer configuration settings. Any changes made to the configuration
will reside as new default settings and affect all subsequent print jobs.
The options in the configuration menu are organized under three
main menus:
n
Operator Control Menu
Use this menu to select document processing options such as
copy count, choosing input and output paper bins, chaining input
bins, and duplexing (if a duplexing unit is installed). Document
processing selections are usually specified within individual jobs
since each job has its own requirements. However, if there’s no
way of specifying these selections within an application, use the
control panel to change selections, send the job, and then
change the defaults back.
» Note: Defining document processing selections for a particular job
through the control panel is not recommended in a shared environment.
When many systems are using the same printer, there’s no way of
making sure that no other jobs are sent to the printer while the
defaults are changed. The Operator Control menu may be password
protected with an optional security card if the system administrator
does not want users changing defaults.
