Changing the Printer’s Default Settings
While you can often change the printer’s settings through your software
or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change one or more of the
printer’s default settings. There are two ways to do this:
❏ Using the EPSON Remote Configuration Manager on the printer
software CD-ROM. (See page 15.)
❏ From the printer’s control panel using the default-setting mode.
For instructions on using the Remote Configuration Manager, see the
PDF manual on the CD-ROM. To use the control panel, see below. For
detailed information about default settings, see the Reference Guide. The
following table shows the options available for each printer setting.
