Whenever you load a macro, the new macro settings become the current settings (although the macro remains stored in memory). You then have the option of:

•Changing only the current printer settings, or•Changing the current settings and saving them as a macro.

Changing only the current settings is useful when you want different settings for only one print job, but you don’t want to permanently change a macro. For example, you may have one macro set for business correspondence in Letter Quality with the Courier font. If you wanted to write a letter to a friend, you could use that same macro, change to the more informal Sans Serif font, but not save the setting. This would preserve the original macro.

On the other hand, you might change the current settings, then find you like the new settings more than the original macro settings. You could save the new settings as a macro, replacing the original settings.

If you change only the current settings, the new settings remain in effect until you change them again, or until you turn the printer off.

When you turn the printer off, the original macro remains stored in

memory, but any changes are lost. If you want to save the new settings, you must save them as a macro.
