At Carleton, each printer already has default settings set up. You can check print.ads.carleton.edu/printers/ (must be on campus or on the VPN to view) where the printer defaults are listed under Comment, where it says Add-ons. Default settings are listed with the format “default-duplex” or “default-grayscale."
