The purpose of the Quick Setup menu is to have the items that are most frequently
changed or entered during the installation of the printer in one location. This is not
a “quick access” menu, in that the items found here will generally only be needed
during the initial setup rather than on an ongoing basis. Only those items where
input is needed to enable printing from a host system and establish rudimentary
printing parameters are included. All other menu selections not part of this section
can be left in their default state to achieve successful printing.
Most items displayed for selection in the Quick Setup menu dynamically change
depending on which Host Interface options are installed and selected or which
active emulation is selected. Only items that are routinely selected, modified or
confirmed during initial setup will be displayed (not full menus). In most cases,
the default settings provided throughout should be sufficient to initiate successful
printing and only need to be confirmed.
Changes made in the Quick Setup menu will have global impact. For example,
host interface settings made will carry forward and reflect in the Host Interface
menu as well. Similarly, changes made to any other parameter will be universally
applied (changing the default values) in all emulations or locations where these
settings are applicable.
An Active Emulation menu has been added. Depending on the emulations
installed or selected, a series of additional menus will appear dynamically,
depending on which emulation was chosen. The choice of emulations offered
depends on what emulations are included in the printer’s software and have been
enabled by the Security Key.
As the active emulation is selected from either the Quick Setup Menu or from the
original Active Emulation menu location, the corresponding bottom menus for the
remaining emulations will be hidden. Only the menu tree for the selected active
emulation will be displayed.
If IPDS is installed, it will become the default emulation. There is no IPDS specific
menu items placed in the Quick Setup menu selections. However, the user can
define the ASCII settings. If IPDS is not installed, then ASCII Printer will be made
the default selection. If ANSI is installed, then the menu will provide the user with
the choice between ANSI or ASCII Printer. If either TN3270 or TN5250 are
installed, this emulation becomes the default, with all default values accepted.
