About Your Printer's Default Settings

The printer's 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. To change the
default settings, see "Changing Default Settings" on this page.

Changing Default Settings

Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode and
change the printer's default settings.
Note:
To print the language selection and default-setting mode instructions,
you need three sheets of letter- or A4-size single-sheet paper or three
pages of continuous paper that is at least 11 inches (279 mm) long
and 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide.
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each
time the printer ejects a printed sheet.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may
damage the printer.
2. Hold down the
Pitch
button to turn on the printer. The printer enters the
default-setting mode and prints the language selection
instructions (one page).
3. Press the button until the Pitch lights indicate the
Pitch
language you want, as described in the language selection
instructions.
