5 Setting parameters for the printer
( Programming via the control panel)
Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications software you use, you can
also program the printer directly. There are two programming options you can use:
◆
Programming via the control panel.
◆
Programming via the interface using Escape sequences or control codes.
Settings made by escape sequences have priority over settings made in menu
mode; therefore they will override these.
Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for designing your printed pages,
however, it is also a more sophisticated method and requires some experience with
programming languages and printer control systems.
All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer, whereas the
programming carried out using the control panel is saved and stored even after you turn off
the printer.
5.1 Setting the parameters through the LCD Panel
This chapter describes the handling of the operator’s panel with optional display.
5.1.1 Enabling access to menu mode
The menu can be locked by default to protect it from accidental or unauthorized access.

Calling up the menu
You can access the menu in the following way:
Press the Setup key. The printer switches to Setup
mode. (The Setup mode can be selected both in the
Online and Offline mode)
