INTRODUCTION

Configuration refers to the set of operating parameters that define how the printer re
sponds to the electronic interface signals and the commands sent from the host com
puter. Most configuration parameters are selected from the control panel, as shown on
the Control Panel Configuration Diagram at the end of this chapter. Some configuration
parameters are hardware selectable by installing jumpers on the DCU board, as de
scribed in Appendix F. Such hardware configuration changes do not normally require
changes to the factory setting.
