QUICK SETUP Menu

When the printer is in offline mode, QUICK SETUP is the first Main Menu option that appears on the
control panel. The QUICK SETUP menu offers basic menu items required to configure your printer. This
section describes the options within the QUICK SETUP menu.
NOTE: The options in your menu will vary depending on the firmware, host IO, emulations selected, and
other features available with your printer.
Active Host
The Active Host menu enables you to select and configure interfaces between the printer and your host
computer. The Auto Switching option (factory default) allows all ports to be active at the same time.
ZTP DataTime
This option sets the pause time in the data stream that the ZTP requires before moving the form to the
tear bar once a print job is completed. The values range from .5 to 5 seconds. The default is .5 seconds.
ZTP WaitTime
This option sets the minimum amount of time that the form stays at the tear bar. This allows you time to
remove the form before the form is retracted to print the next form. The adjustable values range from 500
to 5000 milliseconds in increments of 500 milliseconds. The default value is 2 seconds.
ZTP TearDist
This option sets the tear off distance from the current print position to the tear bar. Adjustable values in
increments of 1/144th of an inch range from 200 to 2880. The up and down arrows adjust the display
value. When you press the ENTER key, the selected value is stored and a scale is printed to indicate the
current tear off position. The default value is 1060.
NOTE: When a new value is selected, the printer will lose the current print position. You must reset the
top of form to automatically save the new value.

Defines the default values for horizontal character spacing in DBCS mode. For the Hanzi and Kanji LP+
printer, select from 5.0, 6.0, 6.7, 7.5, and Others CPI. For the Hangul LP+ printer, selected from 5.0, 6.0,
6.7, 7.5, 8.5, 10, and others CPI.

DBCS/ASCII Mode (H-Series)

double-byte characters and a limited number of single-byte characters. Otherwise, the printer can only
print single-byte characters.
