Printer Settings
-
Your printer has internal settings that control simple
functions such as the page length and character set. These
settings take effect each time you turn on the printer, so they
are also called default settings.
For most users, the factory
sett@s
are best, but you can

The table on the next page
lists all the settings you can change.
