Chapter 10

10. Advanced Printer Settings

The advanced printer settings are such settings that you rarely or
never need to change, since the default settings most likely will fit
your application.

Caution:
Turning the printer off without first saving the settings will cause
settings to be deleted, see chapter 4.14.

The ColorCoder V4 is fitted with a standard parallel interface
(Centronics). There are three types, which differ in regard of the
interaction of the BUSY and /ACK signals. By default, the printer
is set for type 1.
