How To / Using 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 comes on, indicating that the printer is now in OneTouch mode 1. The current OneTouch mode 1 settings for Paper Source, Page Size, Manual Feed, and Orientation are shown on the display above the corresponding setting. For example, Port or Land is shown above Orientation.

Paper Source

Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray, the standard lower paper cassette or an optional lower paper cassette unit (if installed). If you select Auto, the paper source containing the paper that matches the paper size setting you have made will be used.

Page Size

Specifies the paper size.

Manual feed

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

Orientation

Specifies whether the page is printed in portrait (Port) or landscape (Land) orientation.

To make OneTouch settings, access one of the modes as described above and press the button located under the setting you want to change to cycle forward through the available options. You can also press Alt (SelecType) and the button to cycle backward through the available options.
