Menu configurations
Every printer is shipped with factory default settings. Basic settings such as
emulation, character size, form length etc., which many applications make use of,
are set. At the end of this chapter you will find a menu printout which shows you
the printer’s default settings.
Your printer allows you to set and use five independent menu configurations.
If one of your applications for example requires an IBM printer while another
program works better with an EPSON printer, you can set an IBM emulation
configuration with the desired settings, and set the second configuration as an
EPSON emulation.
The active menu is always the one you used last. When you switch on the printer
for the very first time, menu no. 1 is loaded. Menu no. 1 only remains active until
you load another menu. The last active menu is stored even after the printer is
switched off and is reloaded automatically when the printer is switched on again.
For example, to change from menu no. 1 to menu no. 3:
Press Setup key.
Press Menu (1) key.
Press Menu (3) key.
Now the following message appears in the LC display:
Now press the < (2) or > (3) key repeatedly until Load
Menu=3 appears.
Then select menu no. 3 as the current setting using the Set
key (1). The currently active setting is marked with an
asterisk (
*
).
If changing menus it is possible that the printer initializes due to different
emulation settings.
