Customizing The Printer; Factory Default Settings - Canon BJ-230 User Manual

This chapter describes the factory default settings of the printer and the
steps you follow to customize these settings for your particular printing
needs.
You will find that the factory default settings provide features to meet
most of your printing needs. With these settings, your printer emulates
any Canon BJ printer and the IBM Proprinter X24E. This means you
can use the printer with any software application that supports these
printers.
You want to make sure the printer's settings match the requirements of
your software application. If you have a unique printing requirement,
you can customize the printer by changing the DIP switches settings as
described in this chapter.
Your printer is designed to be used in BJ-10 mode and provides
numerous printing features in this mode. If your software application id
designed to print only on an Epson LQ printer, you can use the DIP
switches to change the printer control mode to Epson LQ.
