Printing the Current Setting Report

You can use the information in the current setting report to decide which setting you want to
change.

To print the current settings:

1. Turn the printer off.

2. Hold down both the

PARK/LOAD

and

LF/FF

key at the same time

3. Turn the printer on.

The printer automatically loads paper and prints the current settings. An example
