Chapter 3 Changing Parameters
Changing Parameters
A configuration consists of several parameters. The factory configuration is
PCL-II emulation using the Bi-Tronics interface. You can keep this
configuration to print your jobs, or if your print job requires a different setting
such as a serial interface, follow the procedure outlined in Table 6.
Example
The example below describes how to change the Unidirectional parameter
from disable to enable. Use this example as a basic guideline to move
throughout the configuration menu and change other parameters.
Figure 9 on page 47 shows the top level of the configuration menu. The
submenus are shown in Chapter 4.
If the configuration has already been changed and you do not know what the
current configuration is, print a copy (page 58). Then decide if you must
change any parameters.
Note Once you change active emulations, any changes to the previously
selected emulation will be gone unless they have been saved.
