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.
