How to / Functions of the Control Panel

Using the OneTouch Modes

OneTouch mode 1
OneTouch mode 2

The OneTouch modes allow you to make the most common printer settings from the control panel when printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer driver. Be sure to use the printer driver to make these settings whenever you can, since settings made in the application software always override OneTouch mode settings.

To make OneTouch mode settings, access one of the modes as described below and press the button located under the setting you want to change to cycle forward through the available options. You can also cycle backward through available options by holding down the ALT button while pressing the button under the setting you want to change.

OneTouch mode 1

To enter OneTouch mode 1, press the SelecType button (repeatedly if necessary) until the light next to Paper Source turns on. The current OneTouch mode 1 settings for Paper Source, Page Size, Manual Feed, and Orientation are shown on the LCD panel in this order.

Paper Source

Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray or from a standard or optional lower cassette. If you select Auto, the paper source containing the paper that matches the Page Size setting will be used.

Page Size

Specifies the image size.

Manual Feed

Turns the manual feed mode on or off. For details on the manual feed mode, see Manually loading paper.

To enter OneTouch mode 2, press the SelecType button (repeatedly if necessary) until the indicator light next to RITech turns on. The current OneTouch mode 2 settings for RITech, Copies, MP Tray Size, and Toner Save Mode are shown on the LCD panel in this order.

RITech

Toner Save Mode

Turns the Toner Save mode on or off. When turned on, the printer saves toner by substituting a gray shade for the black inside of characters. The characters are outlined in full black on the right and lower edges.
