Using Printer Menus
You need to know how to use printer menus to change printer settings. The
printer menus are directories of printer features. Menus are organized into
three levels, which correspond to these printer buttons:
GROUP
,
ITEM
, and
SET
.
Use the buttons on the front panel of the printer to change printer settings as
shown in the table below.
The
GROUP
,
ITEM
,
SET
,
EXIT
, and
PRINT
buttons must be activated before you
can use them. To activate these buttons, press
PRINT
QUALITY
and
CHARACTER
PITCH
on the front printer panel at the same time. Menu Mode prints on the
printer paper indicating the buttons are activated.
The
CHARACTER
PITCH
button, which is used to change the characters per inch
(CPI), is ready for use and does not require activation.
For an example of how to change a printer setting, see “Changing Printer
Settings” on page 4.
