For example, if you set up the machine in AUTOSENSE P mode, the printer stays on
the P (parallel) channel. If data comes in on the S (serial) channel, the printer will
switch to the S channel immediately, but only if the time stored in CH TIMEOUT has
elapsed since the last data came in on the P channel. If the time hasn’t yet elapsed, it
will wait until it has elapsed before switching over. ( CH TIMEOUT, see page 40.)
1. Enter Level 2 mode (see page 34).
2. Press or until CH is displayed.
3. To change the current setting:
4. Press or until the required setting is dis -
played.
5. Store the displayed setting:
❐ If you selected AUTOSENSE:

Press
Then either:
❐ Press to store the new settings.
The machine resets itself and returns to printer standby mode.
❐ Press to cancel your changes.
Then go back to step 3 or press twice to return to printer "Ready" mode.
❐ If you selected INDIVIDUAL:
You must now assign memory to each channel. Each channel that you are using needs at least 0.5
MB of memory. You must use 1.5 MB if the channel is using the GL emulation mode; this is
available as an optional card.
Please do not adjust the O setting.
The value on the left of the screen shows you how much printer memory you have available in
megabytes (or MB). The number to the right of each channel is the proportion of memory allocated
to each channel. For example, if you specify S:1 P:1 O:0, both S and P channels will have half the
memory each. If you specify S:2 P:1 O:0, the serial channel will have two thirds of the memory, and
the P channel one third.
Assign a value from 0 to 9 for each channel. Use the arrow buttons to choose the values.
