CONTROL PANEL   4 - 4
Back Button
If you press the Back button when the printer is on-line (READY), it goes off-line and the LCD goes to 
the menu.
Pressing the Back button allows you to return to the previous level from the current menu level.
The Back button also allows you to choose the previous digit while setting numbers.
When you select a setting and it does not have and asterisk (Set button was not pressed), the Back 
button allows you to return to the previous menu level with the original setting unchanged.
When you press the Set button to choose a setting, an asterisk appears briefly at the end of the 
display. Since the asterisk shows what you have chosen, you can easily see the current settings as 
you look through the display.

Reprint Button
If you want to reprint a document that has just been printed, you can reprint it by pressing the Reprint 
button. Also, if you have created a document that you wish to share with co-workers, simply spool the 
document to a non-secure area of the printer. This document can then be reprinted by anyone who is on 
the network or at the printer control panel.
You can use the Reprint button when the printer is in READY or PAUSE state.
If you want to print PROOF, PUBLIC or SECURE data, we recommend that you install the CompactFlash 
card.
If you do not install CompactFlash card (see Installing the CompactFlash Card on page A-4), you can 
reprint from random access memory (RAM). The reprint data in RAM will be deleted when the printer is 
turned off.
When you use RAM to reprint:
1
Press the Set button on the control panel to exit from the READY state and select RAMDISK SIZE 
in the SETUP menu.
2
The default RAM disk is 0MB. Press the + button to increase the reprint RAM size in increments of 
1MB.
When you increase the RAM size for Secure Printing, the work area of the printer is decreased 
and the printer performance will be reduced. Make sure that you reset the RAMDISK size to 0MB 
after you finish using Secure Printing.
When you store data in RAM, the data will be deleted when the printer is turned off.
