Settings and Defaults
The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary
settings or factory (permanent) defaults.
Note
Settings you send from software applications override printer defaults.
Temporary Settings are the values set for the current print job by your
software application. Temporary settings remain in effect until the current
print job is finished.
Control Panel Defaults are the values entered by selecting a control
panel item and pressing [Select]. An asterisk (*) next to the item name
indicates that it is now the default. The printer retains default settings even
when power is switched OFF.
Factory Defaults are the permanent default values for each menu item set
at the factory. These values are listed in Table 3-3.
Printer Driver Information
You can override or change any Printing Menu setting through most
software applications and from the printer driver. When you change a
setting from the printer control panel, the new setting becomes the printer
default value.
Paper Source Default
The printer paper source is specified by the print job, not the printer control
panel. The following paragraphs apply when the current job does not
specify a paper source. Unless changed or not specified by the current job,
the software application, or the printer driver, the paper source default is
determined by the “Cold Reset Paper Size” (letter or A4) set in the Service
Mode Menu.
• If Tray 1 is set to the Cold Reset Paper Size, and if paper is loaded in the
tray (no matter what size), the printer will pull from Tray 1.
• If there is no paper in Tray 1, and Tray 4 is installed and loaded with the
Cold Reset Paper Size, the printer will pull from Tray 4.
• If there is no paper in Tray 1, and Tray 4 is not installed, the printer will
pull from the first tray containing the Cold Reset Paper Size.
• If none of the trays contain the Cold Reset Paper Size, the printer will
prompt the user to put letter or A4 in Tray 1.
