may require you to change the operator panel default settings.
If you cannot change a setting from your software program, use the printer operator panel or the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool. Changing a printer setting from the printer operator panel or from the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool makes that setting the user default.
