4.1 The Menu System
Printer operation can be controlled through the user interface, allowing the
operator access to these six menu system branches:
• Media Settings
• Print Control
• Printer Options
• System Settings
• Communications
• Diagnostics
While in the menu system, the current selection will be indicated with the ‘*’
symbol next to the displayed item on the LCD, and selections designated with
the ‘§’ symbol will require a printer reset before becoming effective. Changes
made can be saved so that, in the event that power is lost or removed, the new
settings will be retained. A reset will be automatically invoked when exiting the
menu system and answering ‘Yes’ to the ‘Save Changes’ prompt.
The same functional commands from the host computer may, in some cases,
override the printer’s menu settings. In addition, as a security feature for the
prevention of accidental or unauthorized changes, the menu system has a
password protection feature.
þ Note: In the following subsections, the factory default settings are denoted
with the ‘²’ symbol. Selections denoted with the ‘♦’ symbol can only
be changed through the menu system - all other selections can be
overridden by host software commands. Consult the Programmer’s
Manual for specific information.
