Printer settings are setup the first time the printer is turned on. The instructions on the LCD screen walk the user through each setting. The settings can be changed at any time under the Settings menu:

5. Tap the home icon to go back to the main screen.

 

 

Keyboards

 

The printer displays a keyboard on the screen when you have to type data, such as when you name the printer. Because different languages use different sets of characters, you may need keyboards with different character sets. By default the printer uses the appropriate keyboard for the language setting.

2. Tap System Configuration.

3. Tap Virtual Keyboard.

4. Tap the check box for each keyboard that should be available. Multiple keyboards can be selected. The default keyboard is shown at the top of the list and cannot be deselected. 

To switch keyboards while typing, tap the globe icon. Each time the globe icon is selected, the display switches to another enabled keyboard.

 

Connect to an external keyboard:
