Configuring the Printer

A–4

Factory Default Configuration Values

The printer is configured at the factory as shown in Table A–1. You can save

and apply new configuration parameters as required, but the factory default

values are permanently stored in ROM and easily reloaded. To load the

factory default values, use the “Load Parameters” menu (page A–7), or

reset the printer (page A–8).

On the Configuration Diagram (beginning on page A–9), factory

configuration values are indicated by an asterisk (

) in the message display

box.
