These includesome settings that cannot be specified from an application or the printer driver.These settings are referred to as "Menu Functions."The menu functions are set using the keys on the touch panel display and aregrouped together depending on the type of settings performed. This makes themeasy to set.NOTE• The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine.This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched off -the settings will still be available when the power is switched on again.Understanding the Printer Settings PrioritiesWhen the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on themachine, or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, thesetting from the application or printer driver has priority.
