Main Functions
The following main functions are available:

MACRO SELECT
To select one of the four macros which can be used for quickly changing the printer settings for
different applications. For example: Application A need's fanfold paper cut into single sheets with
a top margin of one, application B processes fanfold paper in a batch with a top margin of six.
Simply by pressing MACRO SELECT the macro containing the information for the specific application
requirements can be activated.

CHANGE MACRO
In this part it is possible to create a macro for specific application needs (For detail information
sees chapter Function CHANGE MACRO beginning on the next page).
Note:
Most parameters can be set via the control panel or via escape sequences from the host
computer. The changes via escape sequences are visible in the column CURRENT SETTINGS

INSTALLATION
In the first sub function named INTERFACE you can manipulate parameters to enable
communication with the host.
In the second sub function labeled ADJUSTMENT you can optimize your printouts. (Detail
information you will find in the Sub function INTERFACE / ADJUSTMENT)

SAVE
Any desired changes to the default settings can be saved here. After power on the new settings are
activated.
During executing of this function the display is flashing SAVING NOW.


This function initiates a printout of the parameter settings and macro definitions. This printout is
helpful for future reference and when macros are to be changed.
To actually start the print operation it is necessary to leave the STOP mode (by pressing the key).
While this function is operating the display shows PRINT OUT. Main
