3 Configuring the Printer

3.1 What is Configuring
This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set
up or configure your printer so that the printer and your computer system can
communicate correctly with each other.
Communication between the two requires that both the computer operating
system and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The
most important of those are:
S protocol
S baud rate
S data bits
S interface type
S parity
You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on
your hardware and application requirements, for example:
S paper handling
S text processing.
The MENU mode allows you to access the configuration memory. All settings of
the printer are stored in this memory and can be printed out on a list. The
possible settings are discussed in detail in the following pages.
The menu Print Out illustrates the actual printer set-up. The following steps
show which keys to use to start this printout.
