This chapter explains how to control the printer using the control panel. It also describes the additional printer functions you can perform 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. Normally you need to use it only to do the following:

Clean the black or color print heads

Replace the ink cartridges

Pause the printer temporarily

Turn on economy or condensed mode

Change the printer’s default settings

Reset the printer.
