panel displays “Performing Self Test”. The configuration menu can be navigated by pressing the and
keys, and then pressing the key to select the item.
Black only mode
Black Only mode enables a user to force the printer to always print color content in grayscale. Turning this
setting “on” is equivalent to setting “Print Mode” to “Black Only”; the printer ignores any PJL or data stream
commands that attempt to change the “Print Mode” setting. If this setting is “off”, the printer prints color content
as normal. The values for this item are on and off. Use the or key to navigate to the desired setting.
Press the key to activate the desired setting.

Print quality pages
Selecting this item prints the quality pages. Pressing initiates this operation.
Color trapping
The settings for this menu item are off and 1—5. Color trapping is an algorithm used to compensate for
mechanical misregistration in the printer. In the printer’s implementation, when small black text or fine black lines
are being rendered, the printer checks to see if they are being rendered on top of a colored background. If so,
rather than remove the color from beneath the black content, the printer leaves the color around the edge of the
text or line. In this way, the “hole” in the colored region is reduced in size, which prevents the characteristic “white
gap” that is caused by mis-registration. The values 1 through 5 indicate the amount of color that remains
beneath the black content. Each setting is 1/600 of an inch. Therefore, the more inaccurate the registration
setting, the higher this setting needs to be adjusted. To adjust the setting, press the and keys until the
desired setting is set. Press the key to activate the desired setting.
Note: To accept the new menu setting, you must press the key before pressing the Back key.
Panel menus
This setting enables or disables the menus on the operator panel. The settings for this menu are “Enable” and
“Disable”. Use the or key to navigate to the desired setting. Press the key to activate the desired
setting.
PPDS emulation
The value of the PPDS emulation menu item determines if a device can recognize and use the PPDS data
stream. The values for this item are activate and de-activate. To adjust the setting, press the and keys
until the desired setting is set. Press the key to activate the desired setting.
Note: To accept the new menu setting, you must press the key before pressing the Back key.
Demo mode
The printer supports a demonstration mode that is used in retail environments to illustrate the features of the
printer. To change the setting press the or key, and press the key to save the setting. The menu
settings are “Activate” and “De-activate”.
Note: To accept the new menu setting, you must press the key before pressing the Back key.
