S8400 Series Operator Manual
Unit 4: Printer Configuration
ADVANCED MODE (TABLE 4-2)
The calendar is a feature that allows the date and time to be manually set using the operator
panel or through command codes.
This screen prompts to indicate whether calendar setting is desired or not. If YES is selected, the
calendar setup screen will appear. If NO is selected, the menu will advance and bypass the
calendar setup option.
This menu screen allows the calendar settings to be altered. The calendar is divided into five sets
of two digits. The first two allows for the year to be set, followed by the month, the day, the hour,
then the minute.
This menu screen allows the setting of the automated calendar check diagnostic function.
Determines whether each printer character occupies a designated space (fixed) regardless of the
characters width, or if the character's space is representative of its width (proportional). This will
apply to all printer resident font types.
The ESC sequence in SBPL (SATO Basic Programming Language) commands may be defined
as standard (using non-printable code 1BH) or non-standard (some other user code).
Allows the determination of whether the printer will automatically enter the SEMBL Mode upon
powering on the printer.
Allows the ribbon-saver feature to be enabled. Disabled is the default condition.
PARALLEL INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-3)
Is the premiere screen of the Interface Mode. The Interface Mode allows the parameters to be set
for the printer to communicate with a host and vice-versa.
Select the YES option to configure an interface board for bi-directional communication, the menu
will advance to multiple configuration screens depending on the type of interface borad installed.
Selecting the NO option will bypass those screens.
Allows the selection of which interface port will be assigned to receive print data. Interface Port 1
(I/F-1) is the smaller card slot of the printer and Interface Port 2 (I/F-2) is the printer's middle card
slot. The default setting is I/F-2 and accommodates a standard interface card. I/F-1 is to be used
for the optional PCI interface cards.
