Controlling Your Print Job
Control your print jobs from the printer or your computer. Changes to
the printer setup made from the printer control panel become default
settings for all print jobs. Changes to the printer setup made through
the printer driver on the computer will override settings in the printer
control panel and affect only the print jobs initiated from that
computer. Changes made from an application will remain in effect for
the current print job or until changed, depending on the application.
Most changes made to the printer should be made from the computer
so that the changes do not affect other users' print jobs.
