Jetdirect Menus for Graphical Control Panels
Newer printer/MFP devices support graphical control panels, which may consist of a numeric keypad,
navigation buttons and touch-screen displays.
For Jetdirect menus, graphical control panels typically display 18 characters on a line, and as many as
four lines at a time. In addition, scrolling may be supported to allow display of additional lines.
NOTE: These menus apply to printers/MFPs with a Jetdirect embedded print server, or that
contain a EIO slot in which a Jetdirect EIO print is installed. The menu items displayed depend
on the features supported by the print server.
