Control Codes
Control codes override parameters that were
changed using the operator panel. For example,
if you set line spacing to 6 lpi with the operator
panel and application software later changed this
to 8 lpi with a control code, the 8 lpi would be the
new, active parameter.
The 8 lpi parameter is effective as long as the
printer is on. To save the 8 lpi parameter, you
must use the operator panel and save the change
as a custom set.
The Configurations
There are nine configuration sets available: a
factory default, four custom, and four
custom/preloaded configuration sets.
The factory default custom set cannot be
modified or overwritten.
Custom Sets 1–4 can be configured for
specific print job requirements.
Custom/Preloaded Sets 5–8 contain
configuration sets that assist with the
installation and configuration of this printer.
For more information, refer to your
Setup
Guide.
You can load or overwrite any of these eight
custom sets.
You can also modify the eight configurations
and overwrite old parameters.
The following pages describe how to perform
these functions.
To change individual parameters, such as
line spacing or typeface, refer to your
Setup
Guide.
