Use of the Control Panel
The control panel allows the operator the ability to control the operation of the
printer in various ways.
Uses of the control panel :
-
to control the current print job, e.g. to pause and continue or to cancel print
jobs on demand.
-
to set print parameters, for example the heat level, the print speed, the baud
rate of the serial interface, the language or the time.
-
to execute self test functions of the printer.
-
to operate the printer using a memory card without having a computer
connected.
-
to carry out an update of the printer's firmware.
Several functions and settings can also be configured by sending printer
commands from software or through direct programming.
The settings configured by the control panel are basic settings.
Parameters can be set on/off for all print jobs, for example "Transfer print on/
off" or the setting can be set by software for single print jobs.
Parameters such as "Printhead position", which determines the position of the
print image, can be set for all print jobs. Any setting that has both a front panel
setting and software command, the values are totaled together for printing.
In the case of On/Off settings, the software commands will override the front
panel setting.
The section "Printer Configuration" will indicate whether it is possible to change
the settings of the front panel via software.
NOTICE !
Whenever possible, use the software command during print jobs to
control the printer's settings.
