When you press [F6] at the Printer-Control Screen (User Override of CPI,
LPI, and Quality), the Printer-Override Screen appears (see Table 7-6
below). This screen lets you “override” or change settings for the printer
when you print host-print jobs. While User Override is active, host
commands are ignored and the choices shown on this screen control the
printing. (PC-print jobs can’t be controlled from this screen.)
Select any of the printer controls by pressing the function key shown to
the left of the control description. The printer must be in a ready state for
selections to take effect. If the printer is not ready, a message appears and
the selection does not take effect.
