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.
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 “Changing default settings” on page 2-9.
