Mode Selection from Host Computer
Mode selection from the host computer allows you to change the printing
mode of the printer via the I/O, by using appropriate control sequences. All
print modes can be selected from the front panel as well as from power –up,
via Configuration 30.X.
If the mode is set from the front panel, the first print line will set the print
mode back to either to: (1) the power–up default mode, or (2) Mode 5; if
Mode 5 was asserted when the front panel was used to change the mode.
