Level 1 Diagnostics

Level 1 diagnostics (setup mode) allow you to change the settings for various printer
functions and run certain tests.
Keep the following information in mind when changing the settings:
The settings can only be changed when the printer is in level 1 diagnostics (setup mode): Switch 1
must be set to On and Switch 2 must be set to Off.
The default options are set at the factory and are stored in the history non volatile memory
Once the settings have been changed and stored in the non volatile memory, the diagnostic setup
is exited which saves the settings.
Caution: If you are changing the printer settings, be sure they are the correct settings for
that particular function or test to avoid accidentally changing the settings for another
function or test. If the settings are accidentally changed you must reenter the setup mode
and reenter the correct settings. If you need assistance, contact a service representative.
See "Contacting a Service Representative" in chapter 3.

Printer Configuration

Printers are generally shipped with all appropriate configuration settings pre-set at the
factory. The only time the user should need to change the printer configuration is if a new
option is installed or the firmware is changed. It is also possible the user may need to run
certain tests using the Configuration Menu.
The user configures the printer using a convenient Configuration Menu that is printed on
receipt paper. The Configuration Menu prints instructions and setting options
interactively as the user goes through the configuration process. The following functions
and parameters can be changed with the scrolling Configuration Menu:
