Default macro
The preset defaults include a default macro. Each time you turn the
LQ-2500 on, it needs setup instructions. The LQ-2500 uses the settings
contained in the default macro to prepare for printing.
When you receive your LQ, the default macro is set for macro 1. This
means that when you turn the printer on, it prints according to the
settings listed in macro 1.
The Default Macro setting gives you the option of selecting any of
the four macros as the default macro. For example, if you print
spreadsheets most of the time, you could select the preset macro 3 as
the default macro. Or you can create and save you own macro as the
default macro.
Parallel interface systems
If your computer has a parallel interface, the preset defaults should
work correctly Check your computer manual to confirm that it uses a
parallel interface.
Although the list of defaults includes Baud Rate and Parity settings,
these apply only to serial interfaces. As indicated on Table 2-2, the
display does not show these settings if the parallel interface option is
selected.
Serial interface systems
If your computer has a serial interface, you’ll need to change the
defaults. When you select the serial interface option, you will then need
to set both the baud rate and parity
Baud rate is the rate at which the printer receives data from the
computer. The LQ-2500 has seven baud rate settings from 300bps to
19200bps (bps means
bits
per second). You should check your
computer manual (or application program) for the correct baud rate
setting. Your computer and printer should always be set to the same
baud rate.
Parity is a method for a computer and printer to check the reliability
of data transmission. Again, check your computer manual and make
sure your computer and printer have the same parity setting.
