Using Set-Up Mode
MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 Options and Values
Overprinted values are the factory settings.
Some settings are overridden by commands from the computer.
Options that differ with protocols are described at the end of the table.
MACRO 1 and
MACRO 2 Options Values Description
<PROTOCOL> Select the same protocol as is selected in your
software. See step 6 Connecting the Printer to Your
Host System in the Installation Guide for
information on selecting a protocol.

EPSON ESCP Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol
AUTO Printer automatically senses the active protocol. This
is useful when you use various applications in a DOS
or network environment and so you cannot determine
the protocol. The efficiency of this function relies on
the recognition of control sequences that are protocol
specific. If such control sequences are not detected
in the data string received, the printer may fail to
determine the proper protocol, providing an
unexpected result.
PORT DEPND Printer selects a protocol according to the active
interface (parallel or serial). See the next options.
<PRTCL SERL> Select a protocol for the serial interface. This is
invalid and skipped when PORT DEPND is not
selected for the <PROTOCOL> option.
