This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set up or
configure your printer, so that the printer and your computer system can communicate
correctly with each other.
Communication between the two requires that both, the computer operating system and
the printer have the same communication settings or features. The most important of
those are:
•
bit/character
•
baud rate
•
parity
•
stop bits
•
DSR
You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on your
hardware and application requirements, for example:
•
special forms
•
paper handling
The MENU MODE allows you to access the configuration memory. All settings of the
printer are stored in this memory and can be printed. The possible settings are described
in detail on the following pages. A detail description of all Menu settings you will find in
