Settings and defaults
The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary settings or permanent defaults.
NOTE Settings that are sent from software programs override printer defaults.
Table 3-1 Settings and defaults
Setting or default Explanation
Temporary setting A value that is set in the software program for the current print job. For example, a request
from the software to print three copies instead of the control-panel default value of one copy
is a temporary setting. The printer continues to use the temporary setting until it receives
another software request or until it is reset.
Control-panel default A value that is set at the control panel when you select a menu item. An asterisk appears
next to the setting, indicating that it is the default setting. The printer retains this default
when power to the printer is turned off.
Factory default The value that is set for each menu item at the factory. Factory defaults are listed in the item
column of the menu tables, starting with
Retrieve Job menu.

menu, see
