Setting Printer Configuration Parameters

Configuration parameters are set from the control panel and stored into the printer's flash memory. The
parameters define how the printer will respond to command and interface signals from the host computer.
The Settings section is where the complete set of menus or configuration parameters are located. The
T8000 menu system is three levels deep and consists of the ICON Level, View Level, and Edit Level.
The ICON Level. The top level of the menu system is known as the ICON Level and consists of two
screens as shown below. The green shading shows the current icon selected. The arrow keys are used to
select different icons (and even move between screens).
IMPORTANT
The VALIDATOR icon is grey when the ODV option is not installed. When grey,
an icon cannot be selected.
When the right icon is highlighted, the user must press
The View Level. The 2nd level of the menu system is known as the View Level and is separated into a left
and right side. On the left side are submenus, and on the right are the actual menus or configuration
parameters. The up/down arrow keys will move to different submenus (highlighted in green) and the right
side will show a preview of the configuration parameters available for that submenu.
