Understanding the home screen

When the printer is turned on, the display shows a basic screen, referred to as the home screen. Use the home screen buttons and icons to initiate an action such as copying, faxing, or scanning; to open the menu screen; or respond to messages.
Your home screen may vary depending on your home screen customization settings, administrative setup, and active embedded solutions.
