Control Panel

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.

The following table lists the default settings and the options you 
can select in the Default Setting mode. The settings are explained 
in detail after the table. For instructions on changing the default 
settings, see “Changing default settings” on page 95.
