3-16 Chapter 3: Using the Printer
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:
•
