The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary
settings or permanent defaults.
Note Settings you send from software applications override equivalent printer
defaults.

Default Explanation
Temporary setting A value set for the current print job by your software application. For
example, if your printer default is portrait, you can request your software

remains in effect until the current print job is finished.

A value set at the control panel by selecting a menu item and pressing
[Select *]. An asterisk (*) next to the item name indicates that it is now

(permanent default settings) are listed in Table 4-4.
