Your Printer’s Default Settings
The default settings control many printer functions. While you can often set these functions through your application software or printer driver, you may need to change a default setting from the printer’s control panel using the default setting mode.
The table below lists the default settings (in bold) and options you can select in this mode. For instructions on changing the default settings, see the next section.

Changing Default Settings
Follow the steps below to enter the default setting mode and change the printer’s default settings.
To print the language selection and default setting mode instructions, you need three sheets of letter- or
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet each time the printer ejects a printed sheet.
Turn off the printer when it is not printing to exit the default setting mode.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.
2.Hold down the Pitch button while you press the Operate button to turn on the printer. The printer enters the default setting mode and prints the language selection instructions (one page).
3.Press the Font button until the Font lights indicate the language you want, as described in the language selection instructions.
4.Press the Pitch button to print the default setting mode instructions (two pages) in the language you selected.
The printed instructions list the default settings you can change, describe how to change them, and show you how the control panel lights help you make settings. Follow the printed instructions to change the default settings using the buttons on the control panel.
The arrows on the instruction sheets indicate the printer’s current settings.
5.When you finish making your settings, press the Operate button to turn off the printer and exit the default setting mode. Any settings you make remain in effect until you change them again.
