3–27Configuring the Printer
In most cases, Mode refers to the emulation that you will use. The Printronix
LinePrinter Plus emulation is the standard emulation mode. IGP/PGL, IGP/VGL,
CTHI, IPDS, or PCL5
Language Compatible emulations are available as options.
The contents of the Mode menu structure will be created by the printer at
run–time when the printer software reads the diskette to determine what
interpreter(s) is available.
When powered–up, the printer will automatically load the default configuration
values. The default set of parameters is the factory setting until a new setting is
saved to default. Refer to the “Factory Settings” section on page 3–14 to restore
the factory settings after you have created a new default setting.
NOTE: Each emulation may have its own set of configuration options in
addition to those that are in the printer system list. Refer to the
appropriate Programmer’s Reference Manual or Operator’s Guide
for these unique configuration settings.
