Configuring the Default Print Settings
This section explains how to access the printer setup screen from the [Control Panel] and how to configure the printing function settings beforehand.
The printer whose settings you have configured will print with those settings every time.
When printing, you can change these settings beforehand whenever required. To change the settings, configure them in the [Print] dialog box from the application (see "Printing").
