AGFA 2100 Printer User Manual


 
4.2 Reading the Display in Menu Mode
Printer status and operator call messages are shown on the display in
uppercase lettering, preceded by a numerical code. Examples of such
messages are 00 READY or 11 PAPER OUT. Menu Mode messages
are displayed differently to distinguish differences between the menu
selections, feature selections, and value selections.
NOTE: The menu names on the message display are written to accommodate
all protocols available on the DEClaser 2100 printer (ANSI, PostScript, or
CaPSL). Depending on the protocol being used, the menu names that appear
on the message display may not read ‘‘exactly’’ as they do on Test Print A. For
example, if you are using Digital’s ANSI-Compliant Printing Protocol, the
first menu listed on Test Print A is the FEEDER menu, but on the message
it is displayed as the FONT/FEED menu.
4.2.1 Displaying Menu and Feature Selections
Menu and feature selections are scrolled to the left or right, and are shown
on the display in groups of 16 characters. This means that in addition to
the menu or feature you have selected, other characters are displayed from
the next menu or feature. Think of the menu and feature selections as
being placed on a scrolling band separated only by a space. The display
shows a group of 16 characters from the band and denotes the selection by
displaying it first with a cursor below the first letter. See the examples in
Figure 4–2.
