ENTERING THE INTERFACE SETUP MENU
The setup menu for interface parameters is the second setup menu. To enter this menu, first
take the printer offline (refer to the ONLINE button described earlier). Then press and hold
the SETUP button approximately two seconds until “Setup: INTERFACE” is displayed and
the bell beeps twice to indicate that the second menu has been entered (Note that “Setup:
FORMS” will be displayed and the bell will beep once before the interface menu is
displayed. Continue to hold the button to pass through this menu and proceed to the interface
menu). At this time you are able to view and/or edit the values for the various interface
functions as listed below. While you may select functions with either the FUNCTION UP or
FUNCTION DOWN buttons, they are listed here in the order of function up.
The factory default settings are indicated by an asterisk (*).
