Example: Changing the Vertical Pitch
To become familiar with the Set-Up mode, try the following example. This example shows
how to change the vertical pitch in Macro from 6 lines per inch to 8 lines per inch.
1 Enter the Set-Up mode.
Turn the printer off and back on while pressing the READY key.
2 Select the Macro function.
Wait for the printer to stop printing and press the ALT-NEXT key to select the Macro
function and print the <EMULATION> option.
3 Print the menu of the vertical pitch option.
Since you only want to change the vertical pitch, press the NEXT key repeatedly until
the <VERT PITCH> option is printed. Press the ALT-NEXT key to select the <VERT
PITCH> option and print its values.

Press the NEXT key once to position the 8 LPI. Press the ALT-PREVIOUS key to se-
lect 8 LPI. The option < VERT PITCH > is printed.
5 Exit the Macro function.
Since you do not want to make any other changes in MACRO, press the SETUP/EXIT
key. The <FUNCTIONS> SAVE&EXIT is reprinted.
6 Exit the Set-Up mode, saving the new vertical pitch.
Press the SETUP/EXIT key or the ALT-NEXT key or the ALT-PREVIOUS key to save
8 lines per inch as the new power-on default in Macro , and then exit Macro.
Press the SETUP/EXIT key again then the printer exits the Set-Up mode and returns
to the Ready state. These settings remain in effect until the next time they are
changed.
