Control Panel Software

The items listed in Control Panel are designed to correspond to the menu items on the front panel of a laser printer

and possible additional printer features. Therefore, the Control Panel offers the user a way to set printer configuration

settings and to know the printer’s status.

The Control Pane! software consists of two parts; Panasonic KX-P6500 Control Panel and KX-P6500 Control Panel

Reporter (Status Display). The KX-P6500 Control Panel can work either in text display mode (monochrome or color)

or graphics display mode on an IBM-compatible PC. Thus the screen designs in Control Panel will have two formats.

Text and Graphics, according to the user’s working PC configuration. The KX-P6500 Control Panel Reporter is a TSR

program. Since it is desirable to minimize the program code in a TSR, Control Panel Reporter uses only Text display

mode.

Note:

• If you have installed the KX-P6500 for Workgroups Software ( P. 20) in Windows, the Control Panel

software has also been installed at the same time. You do not need to install it in this section.
