LP 800 (260-2890) Main Menu Listing Faxback Doc. # 4101 You can customize your printer's functions to meet your special needs. The menu settings have three directories: MAIN, I/F, AND EMULATION (HPLJ3, IBM, EPSON). When you install the optional PDL cartridge, the PDL menu also appears. This section gives a brief explanation of each of the menu items and their possible settings. The asterisk (*) indicates the factory setting for a menu item. ┌─────────────────────┐ │Main Directory Menu: │ └─────────────────────┘ ┌────────────┬───────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │MENU │ SETTINGS │ DESCRIPTION │ ├────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │PAPER SET │ LTR* │ Selects the paper size in cassette feed │ │ │ LEG │ mode.

More information on │ │ │ MEDIUM │ the EET mode is given below. │ │ │ LIGHT* │ │ │ │ OFF │ │ └────────────┴───────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Edge Enhancement Technology Edge Enhancement Technology (EET) improves the print quality of characters and graphics by "edge smoothing" the high-grade edge of the printed image. This process lets you get near 600 dpi (dots per inch) print quality with your 300 dpi printer. The EET function has four settings: dark, medium, light, and off. Experiment with the different settings to find the best option for your needs. You can see the effects of the different settings by sample printing the pie chart scalable font in the printer self test. After the printer has printed about 7,000 sheets, change the EET setting to medium or dark if you notice a reduction in print density. Return the setting to light when you install a new drum. ┌────────────────┐ │Using the Menu: │ └────────────────┘ Menu settings are stored in the printer's memory even after you turn off power and they remain unchanged until you reprogram them. Use the keys on the operation panel to program the functions. The setting you can change flashes on the display. 1. With the printer off line, press FUNCTION to enter the menu programming mode. 2. Press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW so the directory name you wish to change flashes on the display. 3. Press SET to enter the menu select mode. The first menu item flashes. 4. Press UP or DOWN ARROW so the menu item you want to change flashes on the display. 5. Press SET to enter the change setting mode. The current setting flashes. 6.
