Default Proper speed for drill press?

I just got my first drill press the other day as a Christmas gift. It's a
Grizzly G7944 12-speed floor model drill press. To adjust the speed, you have
to open the top and move the belts on the three pulleys, which seems like a big
pain. Is there a "standard" speed I can set it on for drilling wood? I tend to
work with softer woods, though it's not out of the question that I may drill
some oak or other harder woods from time to time.
