Dell 3100cn Color Laser Printer - Manual

Printer Settings
You can change most printer settings from your software program or printer driver. If your printer is attached to the network, you can change settings from
the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, type the printer IP address in your Web browser. Print a Printer
Settings page to find your printer's IP address (see "
Printing a Printer Settings Page ").
Settings you change from the software or printer driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the printer.
Changes made to printer settings from an software program override changes made from the printer operator panel.
If you cannot change a setting from your software program, use the printer operator panel or the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. Changing a printer
setting from the printer operator panel or from the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool makes that setting the user default.
