Printers are shipped with all the functions and parameters pre-set at the factory. Settings for
various printer parameters can be changed. This menu is printed on the receipt and scrolls through
instructions for selecting and changing user changeable functions or parameters.
Note: When changing the paper type, you will need to
either send the "Set paper type" (1D 81 m n) command
or use the "Set Paper Types" selection from the
configuration menu. See paper types available on
