Printer Configuration
Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change printer
configuration until you are thoroughly familiar with the procedures in
this appendix.
Configuration refers to the operating properties that define how the printer
responds to signals and commands received from the host computer. These
properties, called configuration parameters, are set to match the operating
characteristics of the host computer system.
You can set some configuration parameters either by a control code from the
host computer or at the operator control panel. In such cases, a command
from the host overrides the control panel selection. (If you save configuration
values after such an override, the data stream control code value is saved
instead of the value you selected at the control panel.)
Configuration Printout
The configuration printout lists the configuration parameters currently in use.
When you exit configuration printout mode, the printer restores the previous
font and line spacing (lpi) and all character attributes are canceled. All other
format parameters remain unaffected.
To obtain a configuration printout:
1.
Press the ON LINE switch to place the printer off–line.
2.
Open the printer cover.
3.
Press NEXT until "Off–Line/Print Config" appears on the message
display.
4.
Press the R/S (Run/Stop) switch. The configuration listing prints.
5.
Press CLEAR and close the printer cover.
6.
Press the ON LINE switch to place the printer on–line.
