Set-Up Mode Function

The Set-Up mode allows you:
•
To define a user environment, Macro, which is a printer operating environment for your
application software. The printer operating environment includes the emulation, font,
horizontal and vertical pitches, page length and margins, line mode, and printing direc-
tion. It also includes emulation dependent options like the character set.
•
To define general installation parameters related to the integration in your environment
(e.g., menu language, tear-off control, auto-load control, and interface).
•
To recall all the factory settings (including the user environment and installation param-
eters).
•
To define what kind of settings modifications are allowed to avoid accidentally chang-
ing of Set-Up values.
NOTE: You may want to use the flowchart at the end of this chapter for quick refer-
ence. The flowchart lists all printer Set-Up functions, options, and values.

How Set-Up Works

The Set-Up mode consists of Set-Up functions which correspond to the printer settings
described in the previous page. Each function generally has many options which corre-
spond to the print features to be changed. Each option includes many parameters values
to be selected. All the Set-Up functions, options, and values are printed in a logical se-
quence on the paper when you enter the Set-Up mode, including the usage of keys. You
can perform all the Set-Up operations by using keys on the control panel in the following
order:
•
Navigating through the option menu structure.
•
Selecting a new value for an option.
•
Saving your new printer configuration (permanently or temporarily).
