Control Panel Defaults
When setting up a Phaser 8400, 8500, or 8550 printer for the first time, users may need to select the following
Control Panel defaults. Because the menus are different for Phaser 8400 printers when compared to
Phaser 8500 and 8550 menus, the menu path for choosing each default can vary by printer model. Refer to
the
Menu Map
or the printer’s user documentation for instructions.
Control Panel Lab
If a printer is available, use the
Menu Map
as a guide to set the following Control Panel defaults:
1.
Tray 1 paper type and size
2.
Tray 2 paper type
3.
Startup Page (set to “OFF”)
4.
Network settings for your network (if applicable)
5.
Cleaning page source (if a 525-Sheet Feeder is installed)
Test Ports
The

topic of the multimedia training explains how to test the printer’s Ethernet and
USB ports from a Windows 2000 PC. This lesson provides additional procedures for testing the
communication ports. Refer to the
Phaser 8400 Reference Guide
or
Phaser 8500/8550 User
Guide
when completing this section. Electronic versions are available from the training
CD-ROM’s

Default Setting
Benefit
Define paper type for
each tray
To avoid print-quality problems when printing on transparencies, configure the
Tray Setup to match the media loaded in each tray.
Disable Startup Page
Turn off the Startup Page to reduce ink usage and reduce the time required to
power on the printer.
Select cleaning page
source
Select the cleaning page source if the printer has more than one 525-Sheet
Tray. Tray 2 is the default. Select a tray that will be loaded with plain, letter-size
paper to avoid using expensive media for cleaning.
Network settings
Select the network settings for the network to which the printer is connected.
