HP LaserJet 5100Le printer - User Guide

ENWW Control Panel Menus B-1

Control Panel Menus

Overview

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer

through the printer driver or software application. This is the most

convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer’s

control panel settings. See the help files associated with the

software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver,

see page 16.

You can also control the printer by changing settings in the printer’s

control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not

supported by the printer driver or software application.

Note Printer driver and software commands override the printer’s control

panel settings.

You can print a menu map from the control panel that shows the

current printer configuration (page 11). This appendix lists all the

items and possible values for the printer. (Default values are listed

in the “Item” column.)
