Selecting A Menu Option; Changing Printer Settings - Printronix T5000 User Manual

Selecting A Menu Option

To select an option, you need to press the ↵ key. By default, however, the
↵ key is "locked" when the printer is turned on to prevent accidental changes
to the configuration menu. If you press the ↵ key when the key is locked, the
message "ENTER SWITCH LOCKED" displays on the LCD for one second,
and the value will not be selected.
To unlock the ↵ key, press the ↓ and ↵ keys simultaneously. This toggles the
enter lock function.
If this function is performed while the ↵ key is locked, the message
•
"ENTER SWITCH UNLOCKED" displays for one second, and the ENTER
key will be unlocked.
If this function is performed while the ↵ key is unlocked, the message
•
"ENTER SWITCH LOCKED" displays for one second, and the ↵ key will
be locked.
When you press the ↵ key (with the ↵ key unlocked), you select the value or
option that displays. An asterisk displays after the value you selected, and the
configuration is changed immediately.
IMPORTANT
This change takes effect for all subsequent data and operations for the
printer as soon as the ↵ (ENTER) key is pressed and the asterisk (*) is
displayed. The configuration change(s), stay in effect only while the
printer is powered on. When the power is turned off, all current
configurations will be lost unless changes made to it are saved via the
CONFIG. CONTROL menu.
To save configuration information permanently or to select it as the power-up
default, see "Saving A Configuration" on page 72.
