Review your unit’s front panel  
You can perform many functions using either the front panel or the HP OfficeJet  
G Series software. The method you choose may depend on the function you need to  
perform, or it may depend on which is the most convenient.  
Even if you do not connect your HP OfficeJet to a Macintosh (also called stand-alone  
use), you can use the front panel to process fax and copy jobs. You can change a wide  
variety of settings using the front-panel buttons and menu system. Depending on your  
model, your front panel may look slightly different from the following. Consult the  
legend for a brief explanation of a specific feature.
