Menu configurations

Every printer is shipped with factory default settings. Basic settings such as emulation, character
size, form length etc., which many applications make use of, are set. At the end of this chapter you
will find a menu printout which shows you the printer's default settings.
Your printer allows you to set and use five independent menu configurations.
If one of your applications for example requires an IBM printer while another program works better
with an EPSON printer, you can set an IBM emulation configuration with the desired settings, and set
the second configuration as an EPSON emulation.
The active menu is always the one you used last. When you switch on the printer for the very first
time, menu no. 1 is loaded. Menu no. 1 only remains active until you load another menu. The last
active menu is stored even after the printer is switched off and is reloaded automatically when the
printer is switched on again.
For example, to change from menu no. 1 to menu no. 3:
