Printer Setup (with configuration pages)
The Printer Setup is used to configure the printer parameters and to print a Self Test page, to check the
settings and the printer installation, and to perform the Print Offset Tuning.
The default configuration of this printer matches most of the commonly used environments, but it may be
necessary to change some printer parameters.
With this printer you print the forms for the setup, you fill them in, and then you insert them back into the
printer for reading.
Once the printer reads the form, the new values are set.
The following is the complete description of the Setup Procedure with configuration pages.
Entering the Printer Setup Mode
To enter the Printer Setup Mode press and hold the READY key pressed for at least 1 second while
powering the printer on. The printer enters the Setup Mode.
The leds ST1, ST2 and READY are unlit, the DATA led is flashing.
SETUP is displayed in the models with LCD.
You can now:

Print the Self Test.

Print one of the #6 Printer Setup Forms (Configuration, Program1, Program2, Program 3, Program4
and the Offset Tuning).

Load a filled Setup Form to store the Setup parameters.

Insert a prefilled Printer Setup Form to set the corresponding Setup values.
Printing the Test Page
The Self Test page is useful to test, if the printer has been correctly installed, and allows to see the current
parameter settings.
1. With the printer in the Setup Mode, insert a blank 80gr/m2 single sheet in A4 or Letter format.
2. The printer loads the sheet and stops.
3. Press the READY key again.
The printer prints the Self-Test page. Check that the printout is correct and the Setup parameters are correct.
