Configuration
Introduction
The Configuration of the printer consists of setting hard and soft
user defaults, and setting up the host computer to communicate
with the printer (System Configuration). For installation
instructions refer to Installation in the Getting Started Manual
that is shipped with the printer.
Hard defaults are the I/O Menu and Configuration Menu
settings. These are set when the printer is installed and remain
as configured. The soft defaults (Printing menu and PCL menu)
change with the print job requirements. System Configuration
includes installing printer drivers, MODE commands and
updating the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The instructions in this chapter explain how to access the printer
features through the control panel, and how to set up the printer
in different configurations. This chapter explains how to check
the configuration settings, and how to verify that a configuration
is correctly selected.
Setup and configuration information for accessories is available
in this chapter. This information is intended to augment and not
replace the information provided with the accessories themselves.
If possible, use the information provided with the accessories
when installing the accessory products.
Use the information that comes with the printer drivers when
installing the printer. Many features of the printer are not
available without the correct printer driver for the software
application.
