CHAPTER 3
CONFIGURATION
Introduction
Configuration
refers to the set of operating parameters that define how the printer communi
Ć
cates with the host computer. Most configuration parameters are selected from the control
panel, as shown in the Control Panel Configuration Diagram at the end of this chapter. Some
configuration
parameters are hardware selectable by
installing jumpers on the DCU board, as
described in Appendix F. Such hardware configuration changes do not normally require
changes
to the factory settings.
Read this chapter before configuring any printer function. The following information is preĆ

Lock/Unlock Printer Configuration
The ENTER switch must be unlocked to reconfigure the printer from the control panel. At
powerup,
the printer configuration is locked to prevent accidental reconfiguration.
In order to
change any configuration value, the ENTER switch must be unlocked. Pressing MENU UP
and MENU DOWN simultaneously (while the printer is off line) will alternately unlock and
lock the ENTER switch. The message display will briefly read ENTER SWITCH NOT
LOCKED or ENTER SWITCH LOCKED when the printer configuration is unlocked or
locked,
respectively. While in the configuration menus, pressing the
ENTER switch will enter a
selected
value into printer configuration.
Configuration Menus
With
the printer off line, pressing
MENU DOWN, then repeatedly pressing NEXT or PREV
displays the main configuration menus. The individual parameter values or secondary menus
are
displayed by again pressing MENU DOWN. All parameter options within a menu may be
viewed by pressing NEXT and PREV. Pressing MENU UP will step the configuration menu
back up one level.
