Changing Macro 1 and Macro 2 Options

The MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 functions allow you to use two sets of different print options
according to your application software. You can easily switch between MACRO 1 and
MACRO 2 in Normal mode as described in Chapter 3, "Printing."
With the factory setting, MACRO 1 is invoked when you first turn on the printer. The Macro
selection change is permanently retained in the printer.
Select the same protocol on the printer as is selected in your software. If the protocols are
not the same, the printer will not work correctly with your software. If you plan to use two
different protocols on a regular basis, assign the most frequently used protocol to MACRO 1.
Assign the second protocol to MACRO 2. All of the other settings available for MACRO 1
and MACRO 2 are optional. Some of the options and values will vary with the protocol.
To determine which features your software supports, refer to your software documentation.
The following table describes the MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 options and values. Both
functions offer the same options and values. The options in the table are listed in the order in
which they are printed. Not all options are defined for all protocols, and some values vary
with the protocol.
The procedure for changing the MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 options are presented in the
previous sections of this chapter.
