Settings and Defaults

 

 

The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary

 

 

settings or permanent defaults.

 

 

Settings you send from software applications override equivalent printer

N o t e

 

 

 

defaults.

Explanation

 

 

Temporary setting

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

 

 

 

example, if your printer default is portrait, you can request your software

 

 

 

to print pages with a landscape orientation. This temporary setting

 

 

 

remains in effect until the current print job is finished.

 

 

 

 

Control panel

 

 

A value set at the control panel by selecting a menu item and pressing

default

 

 

[Select *]. An asterisk (*) next to the item name indicates that it is now

 

 

 

the default. The printer retains this new value even when power is

 

 

 

switched OFF.

 

 

 

 

Factory default

 

 

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

 

 

 

(permanent default settings) are listed in Table 4-4.
