This chapter gives you brief descriptions and procedures for checking or changing
the Configuration Parameter Values. Parameter values are settings the printer
recognizes and uses to process print data. These values can be set using the
operator panel. They are grouped together into categories of values (for example,
twinax configuration, printer setup) and are accessed on the operator panel by
these categories. These categories are available on the Configuration Menu:
v
Configuration Storage
v
Attachment
v
Rear Tractor Use
v
Twinaxial Configuration (with Twinax Attachment)
v
Coaxial Configuration (with Coax Attachment)
v
Parallel and Serial Configuration (with Serial Attachment)
v
Printer Setup
v
Printer Adjustment
v
Power On Reset
v
Display Language
v
Send Buffer Reprint Code (with Coax Attachment)

Quit From Menu
You can use the Configuration Parameter Values set at the manufacturer, or you
can change them. Instructions for checking and changing the Parameter Values for
each of these Configuration Categories are described in this section.
Notes:
1.
The computer program can override Parameter Values that you select from the
operator panel. The values that the computer program cannot override are
listed in “Configuration Categories” on page 56.
2. If a category or parameter that is not valid for your printer application is
displayed, you should ignore it; it will not harm the printer or affect its
operation.
3. IBM recommends that you print your custom sets for reference. See “Printer
Configuration” in Chapter 18, “Using the Operator Print Tests” for information.
Printing Configuration Defaults
IBM recommends that you print your configuration values and save this printout
for future reference. See “Printer Configuration” on page 278 for information on
printing your printer configuration values.
