HP LaserJet 5200

Changing printer-control-panel configuration settings
By using the printer control panel, you can make changes to general printer-configuration default settings
such as tray size and type, sleep delay, printer personality (language), and jam recovery.
The printer-control-panel settings can also be changed from a computer by using the setting page of
the embedded Web server (not available for the HP LaserJet 5200L). The computer shows the same
information that the control panel shows. For more information, see
Using the embedded Web server
on page 280.
CAUTION Configuration settings seldom need to be changed. Hewlett-Packard Company
recommends that only the system administrator change configuration settings.
