Returning to the default settings
Pressing the
Setup/User Setup/Init Settings
buttons returns all printer options to the
factory defaults. All saved user settings are lost. The table at the end of this chapter
shows the printer defaults.
Printing the settings
Pressing the
Setup/User Setup/Print Settings
buttons causes the printer to print a
listing of its current settings. Be sure to have paper loaded before you start.
Choosing print mode options
Your printer offers several print modes which let you make tradeoffs between speed and
quality.
The print mode you use depends on various factors, such as your software application,
whether you’re printing in color or monochrome, and the type of media you’re using.
Each print mode directly affects the printing speed and quality of the image you print, so
you should understand the differences.
Each of the print modes attempts to strike a balance between speed and quality, with the
quality mode providing quality images at a reasonable printing speed for most users.
Whenever you choose a print mode other than Normal, you will choose to emphasize
either speed or quality.
