Note Note Settings and defaults The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary settings or permanent defaults. Settings sent from software applications override printer defaults. Table 17. 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 set at the control panel when you select a menu item. An asterisk appears next to the setting, indicating the default setting. The printer retains this default when power to the printer is turned off. Factory default The value 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" on page 41. For information about the resets submenu, diagnostics menu, and the service menu, see "Resets submenu" on page 247, "Diagnostics menu" on page 248, and "Service menu (service PIN codes)" on page 249.
