What is Configuring

This chapter describes how to use the menu settings via the operator panel to set up or configure
the printer and computer system in a way that they 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 values of the
serial Interface are:

Interface Type:

Baud rate,

Parity,

Protocol,

Word length.
You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on your hardware
and application requirements, for example:

Paper handling

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 printout illustrates the actual printer setup. The following steps show which keys to
