Configuration Main Menu
Brief descriptions follow for the first–level configuration menu options:
•
CONFIG. CONTROL – These options allow you to save, print, load,
and delete entire sets of configuration parameters. These options are
described briefly in this chapter, and covered in detail in Chapter 3.
•
ACTIVE EMULATION – This menu allows you to select either the
LG (Digital) emulation or the LinePrinter Plus emulation as the current
operating emulation for your printer. If the IGP/PGL or IGP/VGL
optional upgrade is installed, then IGP/PGL & LP+ or IGP/VGL & LP+
will be the active emulation.
•
EMULATION – This menu allows you to configure the options that are
available for the current operating (active) emulation. For example, if
LG is the active emulation, then the LG emulation options can be
configured using this menu.
•
MAINT / MISC – These options provide miscellaneous functions, such
as printing a hex dump, selecting a display language, and choosing
whether the printer will power up as offline or online.
•
HOST INTERFACE – These options allow you to select either the
Serial RS–232, Serial RS–422, Centronics parallel, Dataproducts
parallel, or IEEE 1284 parallel interface for the printer (which must
match the interface cabling you installed while setting up your printer,
described in Chapter 2). In addition to selecting an active interface, this
menu also allows you to configure several parameters for each interface.
•
PRINTER CONTROL – These options allow you to select several
operating parameters for the printer, such as the speed at which paper
will advance when FF (Form Feed) is pressed.
•
DIAGNOSTICS – These options include the printer’s diagnostic tests,
system memory, and statistics.
