About Your Printer’s Default Settings

The printer’s default settings control many printer functions. While you can often set these functions through your software or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default setting from the printer’s control panel using the default-setting mode.

The following table lists the default settings and the options you can select in the default-setting mode. The settings are explained in detail after the table. For instructions on changing the default settings, see page 5-9.
