Using the Compaq A1500 Settings Utility

Settings Utility Overview

Main Settings Window

The A1500 Settings Utility allows you to change the default settings of your A1500 All-In-One. For instance, if you make a copy by pressing the Copy button and then Start, the default copy settings will be used.

The default copy setting is Black Normal. If you normally perform color copies, you can change the default to Color Normal instead by using the Settings Utility. You can customize dozens of settings to suit your preferences.

You can always make a temporary change for a specific job (for instance, changing the mode to Color Best while performing a copy). When you are finished with the current job, the A1500 will default back to the settings you have chosen with the Settings Utility.

Accessing the Settings Utility

There are a number of ways to access the A1500 Settings Utility:

•From the Start button:
