Using The Default Setting Mode - Epson Stylus 1500 Reference Manual

LF/FF + Load/Eject + Operate button (Hex dump)
When connected to a PC, prints a page containing a
hexadecimal representation of the data sent to the
printer (hex dump) for troubleshooting use; see
page 4-11. To exit hex dump mode, press the Pause
button and turn off the printer.
Alt + Operate button (Demonstration page)
Prints a demonstration page of the printer's fonts
and colors. (Paper must be loaded in the printer.) To
exit demonstration mode, make sure the Pause light
is on and then turn off the printer.
Note:
If the printer is in economy mode when a demonstration page is
printed, black will print as gray.
Economy/Condensed + Operate button (Default Setting mode)
Enters the printer's Default Setting mode; see the
next section for more information. To exit Default
Setting mode, press the Pause button and turn off
the printer.
Alt + Pause + Operate button (Ink smear prevention mode)
Decreases the printing speed to allow more time for
the ink to dry. Use this function when your output is
smeared. This mode is not saved as a default setting.

Using the Default Setting Mode

Additional printer functions are available through the Default
Setting mode. Because the printer's factory defaults are
designed to meet the needs of almost all users, you rarely need
to change the printer functions. If necessary, however, you can
turn on the Default Setting mode and change the settings using
the control panel buttons.
