, Enter , and Return keys on the operator panel to
access configuration settings and diagnostic tests via the configuration
menus. As you access menus and options, menu names and option values
appear on the operator panel message display (sometimes referred to as
LCD, or Liquid Crystal Display).
This chapter provides numerous examples of how to use the operator panel
keys and indicator message display to configure the printer. The operator
panel key functions are described in detail in your
IBM 6400-D Series
Operator’s Guide.
Program Mode
The printer is in Program mode whenever the configuration menus and option
values are displayed on the operator panel message display. Program mode
is either locked or unlocked. In order to select new configuration values, you
must unlock Program mode. In order to prevent accidental changing of the
configuration settings, you may lock Program mode.
Unlocking The Program Mode
Program mode must be unlocked in order to use the operator panel to change
the configuration settings. When Program mode is unlocked, pressing the
Enter key selects configuration values as the active values, that is, places
them into printer NVRAM. An asterisk (*) after a displayed setting shows it is
entered into memory.
