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 control 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. When you are satisfied with your selections, click Save Changes to keep the settings or Discard Changes to keep the previous settings.
User Preferences
Startup Page
- On - The Startup Page prints every time the printer is
reset. The default setting is On.
- Off - The Startup Page is not printed.
PostScript Error Information - If the printer encounters PostScript errors in the print job, it will
not print the job. If you set PostScript Error Information to On,
the printer prints a report summarizing any PostScript errors that occur during
a print job. The default setting is Off.
Set Control Panel Language - Select the default language for the printer control panel from the drop-down
list. All available languages for the printer model are contained in the list. The default setting is English.
Accessible Control Panel
- This option modifies the control panel behavior to improve accessibility for some individuals with disabilities. When On is selected, the control panel will not time out and key repeating is turned off. When this field is set to Off, the control panel times out after a short period of no activity and key repeating is turned on. The default setting is Off.
- On - Turns Accessible Control Panel on.
- Off - Turns Accessible Control Panel off.
Metric Defaults - This option
selects whether default sizes that are affected by the Reset Printer Setup
are measured in millimeters or inches. The default setting is Off for the U.S. or On for destinations that use the metric system.
- On - All affected interfaces are set to metric dimensions after
an NVRAM reset.
- Off - All affected interfaces are set to U.S. dimensions after an
NVRAM reset.
Tray 1 Prompt -
This setting determines the amount of time the control panel message prompts you to
select paper type and size when paper is inserted in Tray 1. The default setting
is 30 seconds.
- None - Turns off the control panel prompt to select paper type
and size when paper is inserted in Tray 1.
- 30 Seconds - Turns on the control panel prompt for 30 seconds to
select paper type and size when paper is inserted in Tray 1.
- Infinite - Turns on the control panel prompt until paper type
and size is selected from the control panel when paper is inserted in Tray 1.
Tray 1 Mode - This setting defines the printer’s media handling behavior to better fit the kind of printing you want to do. Three modes determine how paper size and type are set for Tray 1, and which tray is used if you do not select a specific tray. The default setting is Dynamic.
- Automatic - The Automatic setting enables incoming print jobs to set paper size and type. It prints from Tray 1 if paper is present at the start of a job and when the job has not selected another tray.
- Dynamic - The Dynamic setting prompts the printer to search the trays to find the paper size and type to match your print job. If no size or type matches are found in Tray 2, 3 or 4, and Tray 1 media size and type have not been set on the printer control panel, the printer sets the paper size and type from the print job, and then prints from Tray 1.
- Static - The Static setting enables the user to select the paper size and type settings for the trays using the Paper Tray Setup menu option on the printer control panel. To print from Tray 1, the paper size and type of your print job must match the Tray 1 paper size and type settings on the control panel.
Tray 2-N Mode - This setting specifies how paper type is determined when you load paper in a tray but do not select the paper type on the control panel. When no optional trays are installed, N is not shown; otherwise N is the highest installed tray number. The default setting is Dynamic.
- Dynamic - After new paper is loaded in the tray, the next job to print from the tray sets the paper type setting unless you change it using the control panel.
- Static - The current paper type setting remains in effect unless you change it using the control panel.
Letter/A4 Substitution - This setting determines the printer's response when a print job requests letter or A4 size paper, and the requested paper size is not in any tray, but the other paper size is available. The default setting is On.
- On - The printer substitutes letter size for A4 size paper, and vice versa, when the paper size requested by the print job is not in any tray, but the other paper size is available. This setting may adjust the margins of your print job.
- Off - Turns Letter/A4 Substitution off.

Select a Print-Quality Mode depending on your printing needs.
These modes affect the appearance of your prints and the time they take to print.

highest-quality color prints, with the best text resolution and smoothest
