Printer Defaults Help
View, set, or change general printer settings from the
Printer Defaults page. Making changes to printer default settings through
CentreWare IS is the same as making the corresponding changes from the printer's front panel. Changes to settings are saved in the printer's memory and are overridden on a job-by-job basis by settings made from the printer driver.
