2Using the operator panel
This section contains information about understanding the operator panel, c hanging printer settings,
and understanding operator panel menus.
You can change most printer settings from your software application or printer driver. Settings you
change from the application or printer driver apply only to the jo b you are preparing to send to the
printer.
Changes made to printer settings from a software application override changes made from the printer
operator panel.
If you cannot change a setting from your application, use the printer operator panel o r the remote
operator panel available from MarkVision™. Changing a printer setting from the printer operator pa nel
or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default.
