USING SETUP MODE
Your printer has two modes: normal and setup.
Normal mode is used for everyday printer opera-
tions and is explained in Chapters 3 and 4.
Setup mode serves two purposes. It enables you to:
• Select the printer’s optional settings
• Help diagnose printer problems
These setup mode functions can be done either offline, using the
printer control panel (offline setup), or remotely, using a setup
program in your computer system or software (online setup).
Primarily, this chapter explains how to use the offline setup mode.
The online setup mode, which is reviewed briefly at the end of this
chapter, is valid in all emulations.
Optional settings on the printer include the emulation, fonts, pitch,
page length and page width, serial interface options, and the top-of-
form setting. When you save your settings in the printer’s permanent
memory, they become the new settings or defaults. These defaults are
invoked whenever you turn on the printer. For example, if you save
DPL24C PLUS as the default emulation, DPL24C PLUS is invoked
when you turn on the printer.
The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and
V-ALMNT. These functions are helpful for printer trouble-shooting,
as described in Chapter 7.
The sections in this chapter are presented in logical sequence. If you
