Whenever you
load
a macro, the new macro settings become the
current settings (although the macro remains
stored
in memory). You
then have the option of:
l
Changing only the current printer settings, or
l
Changing the current settings and saving them
as a macro.
Changing
only the current settings is useful when you want different
settings for only one print
job,
but you don’t want to permanently
change
a macro.
For example, you may have one macro set for
business correspondence in Letter Quality with the Courier font. If you
wanted
to write a letter to a friend, you could use that same macro,
change to the more informal Sans Serif font, but not save the setting.
This
would preserve
the original macro.
On the
other
hand, you might change the current settings, then find
you like the new settings more than the original macro settings. You
could save the new settings as a macro, replacing the original settings.
If you change only the current settings, the new settings remain in
effect until you change them again, or until you turn the printer off.
When you turn the printer off, the original macro remains stored in
memory, but any changes are lost. If you want to save the new settings,
you must save them as a macro.
