B The HP Jetdirect Control Panel Menu
HP Jetdirect embedded print servers provide a configuration menu that can be accessed from the
printer's control panel. The keystrokes to access this menu from the printer control panel depend on
the printer. Refer to your printer User guide, or print a control panel menu map, for more information.
The printer's graphical control panel is used to access the Jetdirect print server menu items.
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.
