Twinax SCS Menu
Use the Twinax SCS Menu to define how the printer handles SCS data over the twinax
attachment. The following table describes the settings you can change from the Twinax
SCS Menu. An asterisk (*) next to a value means it is the factory default. This menu
appears only if you have the twinax attachment installed.
Notes:
1. To select a new value, press the Enter key when the value is displayed in the
message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value in the message
display area, indicating that it is now active.
2. Values set in print jobs override Twinax SCS Menu values set at the printer.
3. For more information about configuring the twinax attachment, see
IBM Network
Printers: Twinax/Coax Configuration Guide.
4. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus, please read
“Using the Operator Panel Keys” on page 30 and “Navigating Menus — Two

LAND Specifies the default orientation for jobs printed from each tray
listed on the menu. TRAY1 and TRAY2 are standard input trays.

Each input can be assigned one of the following default
orientations

COR—computer output reduction: Printing in landscape with
the logical page reduced to fit more data on the physical
page. The printer reduces vertical spacing and uses a
smaller font with less space between letters.

spaces reduced between characters (horizontal compression)
so that more text fits on a line. This allows more characters
per line.
Ÿ

orientation.
Ÿ LAND—landscape: the page is wider than long.
