Online Setup
8-48
The procedures explained in the preceding sections use offline setup
mode. Offline setup mode makes setting printer features one by one
from the control panel easier by printing the desired options for
checking.
In online setup mode, printer features are set via the processor instead
of the printer control panel.
1. Place the printer in online setup mode in one of two ways:
• Turn off the printer and then turn it back on while pressing
MENU. Hold down the button until the printer beeps. (Printers
with the LCD control panel can be placed in the online setup
mode only in the next way.)
• Issue printer command ESC e ONLINE. This command is valid
in any emulation.
2. Send setup data from the processor in one of three ways:
• Enter setup data directly from the processor keyboard before
starting work. For MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and type P; data
entered from the keyboard is sent directly to the printer. When
data entry is complete, hold down Ctrl again and type P. This
procedure is useful when you are changing just a few settings.
• Use an editor to prepare a setup data file and send the file to the
printer using a command. For MS-DOS, use the COPY
command. This procedure is useful when you are using settings
repeatedly.
• Write a program that enables interactive entry of setup data on
the screen. This procedure is the most useful among the three.
Check with your dealer regarding the latest available programs.
3. Exit online setup mode by sending EXIT as the last setup data.
