You should not delete any options file records that are being used by active routings. Before you delete an options file record, ensure that no routing file records have this options record specified in their OPTIONS NAME field.

Follow these steps to delete an options file record:

1. Select D from the NPF Printer Options Configuration panel to display the NPF Options Record Key Field panel (Figure 1)
