Changing the Default Settings

Default settings are special settings stored in the printer's EEPROM which remain active even after
turning off the printer. The FX-880 and FX-1180 both have two default setting modes. You can change
different printer settings in each of these modes.
When you enter the default setting mode, the printer prints out instructions for changing the settings, as
well as a menu of options. In general, you use the Tear Off/Bin button to select from the printed menu the
setting you wish to change, and the Load/Eject button to change the value of the setting. In addition to
these buttons, you use four LEDs: the Font and TearOff/Bin LEDs to follow your menu selections, and the
Pause and Paper Out LEDs to see the current settings.
