User-Friendly Programming

We have designed your Multi-Function Centre with on-screen programming. User-friendly

programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions the machine has to offer. (See Using

This Manual, page i)

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen prompts to

help you. All you need to do is to follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu

selections, programming options and settings. Additionally, you can program settings more quickly

by pressing Menu/Set and the menu number using the dial pad.

A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided at the

beginning of this manual. (See Menu Mode & Menu Selection Table, page 11)

Alternating Displays

The LCD sometimes alternates between the currently

selected option, and a help message giving brief

instructions about how to proceed. The display you will

probably see most often is shown on the right, showing you

that when you place a document in the feeder, you can

either dial a number to send it as a fax or press the

Mono Copy or Colour Copy key to make a copy of the

document.
