INITIALIZING THE PRINTER

When to Initialize

USING THE KEYPAD TO INITIALIZE

5180 User's Manual
Initializing resets the printer electronics and sets the printer
parameters to factory defaults. Parameters include margins, tabs,
forms control, characters per inch, lines per inch, etc.
Initialize the printer when:
It is desirable to reset the printer to the factory default settings.
•
After new software has been installed.
•
Repair actions involving the logic circuit boards have been made.
•
Using the control panel keys to initialize the printer allows resetting
to the factory default parameters, all interfaces, all emulations, all
formats or a complete reset of all parameters.
If the printer was operating before initialization, it may need to be
reconfigured for the specific task at hand. Refer to the status page
printout and/or formats page printout to reset the printers settings
to those used before initialization. (See "Show" in the "Using the
Operator's Menu" section of Chapter 4 for procedures to print the
status page and formats page.)
The menu options All Formats, All Interfaces, and All Emulations will
reset all previously saved settings (customer defined) to factory
defaults. Previously saved formats, interface settings and
emulation options cannot be recalled. It is recommended that a
status page and format page be printed before performing this
option. Use these printouts to re-configure formats, settings,
and/or options after resetting to factory defaults.
