HP deskjet 600 User Manual

The group of all the printer's current feature settings is collectively referred to as the print envi-
ronment.  Default settings refer to the settings the printer uses unless printer commands are
used to select other settings. Default settings are settings that are programmed into the printer
at the factory.

Each time a job is printed, some of the printer's feature settings may be changed from their
default values to produce a desired output for that job.  After the job has printed, the job spe-
cific feature settings are no longer needed, since the next job will likely have different output
requirements.  The next job should clear all previous job settings by performing a reset.  This
allows a job to start with the default settings as a base and vary only those settings that are
needed.  Returning to the default environment at the beginning of each print job eliminates the
need for setting every feature each time a job is run.
