Using the Default Setting Mode

Additional printer functions are available through the Default setting mode. Because the printer’s factory defaults are designed to meet the needs of almost all users, you rarely need to change the printer functions listed below. If necessary, however, you can turn on the Default setting mode and change the settings using the control panel buttons.

The table below lists the settings and available options, with default settings in bold type. Detailed descriptions follow the table.
