Changing Default Settings

You can change the printer's default settings using the default-setting
mode. To enter the default-setting mode, hold down the Pitch button and
press the Operate button to turn on the printer. The printer prints the
language selection instructions. Select the language you want, and then
press the Font button to print the default-setting mode instructions. The
printed instructions list the settings you can change, describe how to
change them, and show you how the control panel lights help you make
settings.
