Using The Secondary Control Panel
Configuration parameters are set from the secondary control panel or are
retrieved from the printer’s memory. The parameters define how the printer
will respond to command and interface signals from the host computer.
The configuration menu structure consists of the main configuration menus
and the corresponding submenus, where applicable.
NOTE: Many of the selectable configurations refer to printer options or
features that may or may not be present in your printer. Selecting an
option or feature that is not present will result in no action being
performed by the printer, or an ‘OPTION NOT INSTALLED’ message
displayed.
Moving Within The Configuration Menu
To configure the printer, it must be offline. If the ONLINE indicator is lit, press
and release the PAUSE key to place the printer offline. When the printer is
offline, OFFLINE appears on the top line of the LCD and CONFIG. CONTROL
appears on the next line.
Figure 2 shows the configuration main menu options. For details on the
parameters that pertain to those options, refer to the specified pages.
Movement within the configuration menus is controlled by using the
appropriate arrow keys. (See Table 1, for more details on the function of the
operator panel keys.)
Figure 3 shows how to change a configuration menu option and the
messages that appear in the display after you press each key.
If you follow the example shown in Figure 3, you will configure the printer for
Direct Thermal Print Mode.
In this manual the factory default settings for all available options are
indicated by an asterisk (*) located to the right of the option.
You can select different options and save them as the power on default;
however, they can only be saved to configurations menus 1-8. Changes made
to the factory configuration menu cannot be saved.
When the printer is online, the first line of the LCD indicates ONLINE and the
second line lists the active interface port and type of emulation.
