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.
For a detailed description of the settings you can change in the
default-setting mode, see “Understanding default settings” on
page 80. For instructions on changing the settings, see “Changing
default settings” on page 94.
