Understanding the home screen

After the printer is turned on and a short warm-up period occurs, the display shows a basic screen which is referred to as the home screen. Use the home screen buttons to initiate an action such as copying, faxing, or scanning; to open the menu screen; or to respond to messages.

Note: Buttons appearing on the home screen may vary depending on home screen customization settings.
