About Your Printer’s Default Settings

The 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.

For a detailed description of the settings you can change in the default-setting mode, see “Understanding default settings” on page 80. For instructions on changing the settings, see “Changing default settings” on page 94.
