Changing the default settings
If you need to change default settings that cannot be changed
by using your software program, you press the control panel
buttons, and the control panel lights show your selections.
Follow the steps below to make your changes:
Note:
You can repeat steps 5 through 7 if you want to make more than
one change. Also, you can turn off the printer and start over if you
are not sure about a setting.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and paper is loaded in
the paper cassette. If you installed the optional push
tractor, you can use continuous paper for the
default-setting mode.
2. To enter the default-setting mode, hold down the FONT
button while you turn on the printer.
The printer automatically loads a sheet of paper and prints
out instructions and a table showing you the languages
from which you can choose. You can print the
default-setting mode messages in English, French,
German, Italian, or Spanish.
3. Press the FONT button until the FONT lights indicate the
language of your choice; then press the FF button to make
your selection.
