Introduction

Configuration refers to a set of operating parameters that define how the printer will respond
to commands sent from the host computer. Most all the configuration parameters are selected
from the control panel as shown on the Control Panel Switch Function Diagrams. A few con
figuration parameters are hardware selectable by jumpers on the Logic C board as described in
the Hardware Jumper Configuration section.
Before reconfiguring any printer function, be sure to read this entire chapter. The following
