IBM A00 Printer User Manual


 
The printer has two configuration modes, Power On Configuration mode and
Program Configuration mode. The values for these parameters are stored in the
printer nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal printer storage location that is not
erased when the printer is powered off or unplugged. Updating storage can take as
long as 15 seconds to complete.
v Power On Configuration Mode: A printer state that allows you to personalize
hardware and emulation-specific printer parameters. A discussion of this begins
on page 82.
v Program Configuration Mode: A printer state that allows you to complete the
customization of your printer. Program Configuration values can be saved for
each of as many as five forms paths. This mode is always selected while the
printer is in a
wait
condition (Online indicator off) or
ready
condition without
printing. A discussion of this begins on page 106.
