Using Set-Up Mode
You can press the button to select the value. Then, the printer prints the previous
option and its values.
3. After selecting the desired values, press the Exit/Save button to reprint the
<FUNCTIONS> menu where the red cursor is positioned beneath SAVE&EXIT.
For each option, the bolded value is the current default value (the value currently saved
in the printers permanent memory). In the previous example, the default values are PORT
DEPND (Port Dependent) for protocol selection and DRAFT (Draft) for font selection.
Example: Changing the Vertical Pitch
To become familiar with the Set-Up mode, try the following example. This example shows
how to change the vertical pitch in Macro 2 from 6 lines per inch to 8 lines per inch.
1. Enter the Set-Up mode.
Turn the printer off and back on while pressing the Set-Up/Quit button until the printer
beeps.
2. Select the Macro 2 function.
Wait for the printer to stop printing and press the button once to position the red
cursor on the plastic guide of the print head under MACRO 2. Press the button or
the button to select the Macro 2 function and print the <PROTOCOL> option and its
values.
3. Print the menu of the vertical pitch option.
Since you do not want to change other than the vertical pitch, press the button to
select the current protocol. Bolded PORT DEPND is underlined and the next option
<PRTCL SERL> is printed. (Bolded value indicates the current setting and underlined
value is the new setting.) Repeatedly press the button in the same way, until the
<VERT PITCH> option and its values are printed.
4. Change the vertical pitch from 6 to 8 lines per inch.
Press the button once to position the red cursor beneath 8 LPI. Press the button
to select 8 LPI. 8 LPI is underlined and the next option <HORZ PITCH> and its values
are printed.
5. Exit the Macro 2 function.
Since you do not want to make any other changes in MACRO 2, press the Exit/Save
button. The <FUNCTIONS> menu is then reprinted and the red cursor is positioned
beneath SAVE&EXIT.
6. Exit the Set-Up mode, saving or not saving the new vertical pitch.
Press the button or the button to save 8 lines per inch as the new power-on
defaults in Macro 2 and exit Macro 2. The printer then exits the Set-Up mode and
returns ready. These settings remain in effect until the next time they are changed.
