The printer’s default settings control many printer functions. While you can often set these functions through your software or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default setting from the printer’s control panel using the default- setting mode.

The following table lists the default settings (highlighted in bold text) and the options you can select in the default-setting mode. To change the default settings, see the next section, “Changing Default Settings.”
