Printer Settings
 | All the settings about the printer are listed with short descriptions. Default settings are marked with a dagger (  ). |
 |
Asterisks (*)Settings marked with an asterisk (*) have different defaults depending on your country or region. Priority of settingsIf a print setting is specified both from the printer driver and the operation panel of the machine, the specification from the printer driver overrides that from the operation panel. The specification from the operation panel becomes effective in some specific cases, such as when performing PCL printing and printing from UNIX or other operating system that does not support printer drivers.  |
