4.2 DLMENU
Generally, the printer features are controlled by the printer driver through application programs. These are also
controlled by the remote setup utility program, DLMENU, stored in the DLMENU floppy disk which is fur-
nished with the printer.
The DLMENU allows the user to change printer’s features directly from the computer display and keyboard.
Operations are easy enough that the user's manual need not be referenced once the user is familiar with the printer.
The DLMENU is useful to configure the printer to suit the requirements of user's computer, software, and
documents to be printed. It also has maintenance-aid functions which allows the user to print self-test reports
and print commands and data in hexadecimals.
The parameters changed using the DLMENU affect page layout, font, and printer control. If software programs
have printer drivers, the printer drivers control these parameters for the user. The user may never need to change
the settings manually using the DLMENU.
The DLMENU first displays the opening screen then the main menu. The main menu offers functions to select
print options for user documents. It also offers an operation guide of some keys and a help message line. If the
printer is not ready or has an error, a status message is displayed. The top menu bar offers pull-down menus for
file functions, emulation selection and interface setting, and maintenance. The user can select options or
perform a function by using the main menu and top menu bar accessed through the mouse or keyboard. One of
the six languages is selectable for messages when installing the DLMENU.
To use the DLMENU, the following are required:
• IBM PC/AT or compatible or PS/2
• PC DOS 5.02, MS-DOS 3.3, or higher
• VGA (640 x 400) or higher display
• Hard disk driver installed (1 MB essential for DLMENU)
• 3.5-inch 2HD floppy disk drive (1.44 MB)
The following main menu is displayed if the printer has no error after the opening screen is displayed.
