Settings and Defaults

The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary settings or permanent defaults.

Note

Settings sent from software applications override printer defaults.

Setting or Default

Explanation

Temporary Setting

A value set for the current print job by the software application.

 

 

For example, a request from the software to print three copies

 

 

instead of the Control Panel default value of one copy is a

 

 

temporary setting. The printer continues to use the temporary

 

 

setting until it receives another software request or until it is reset.

Control Panel Default

A value set at the Control Panel when you select a menu item. An

 

 

asterisk appears, indicating the default setting. The printer retains

 

 

this default when it is turned off.

Factory Default

 

The value set for each menu item at the factory. Factory defaults

 

 

are listed in the item column in the menu tables starting on page

 

 

3-6.
