Using the Default-Setting Mode

You can change several printer settings that control a variety of functions such as print direction and loading position. Because these settings take effect each time you turn on the printer, they are called default settings.

The factory default settings are designed to meet the needs of most users, so you may not need to change them. The table below lists the features you can select in the default-setting mode.
