Switching Macros and Selecting Features on the Control Panel

When you switch from one macro to another, each modification you made using the control
panel for the Top-of-Form option or the Protocol option is lost, and the values of these
options stored in the new macro become active.
This behavior does not apply to the Font selection. If you have changed a font using the
control panel before changing the macro, this font will still remain active, overriding the
font set in the new macro.
For example, assume that Macro 1 is set to Draft and Macro 2 to Courier. You switch the
Font selection of Macro 1 from Draft to Prestige using the
Macro selection from Macro 1 to Macro 2, Prestige will remain active, overriding the
Courier set in Macro 2.
The following tables list default values of options for print features. The former is for
options in Macro 1 and Macro 2 and the latter is for options independent of Macro selection.
