This chapter explains how to do the following:

Control the printer using the control panel

Manage printing in Windows and on the Macintosh

Control additional printer functions using the Default setting mode.

Using the Printer’s Control Panel

The printer’s control panel contains lights for displaying the printer status and buttons for controlling certain functions, as described in this section.

Since most printer settings can be controlled from your software, you do not often need to use the control panel. Use your software to select printing functions whenever possible. (Software settings usually override control panel settings.)
