Control Panel Default Settings

Your printer includes internal default settings that are active whenever you turn on the printer. These settings control functions such as print direction and loading position.

Because they are preset to the most likely settings you’ll want to use, you probably won’t need to change them. If you do need to change the settings, see “Changing the Default Settings” on page 34. The table below lists the settings you can select in default-setting mode.

Most software controls the print direction, auto line feed, and character table settings. If your software controls these features, you should not set them with the control panel.
