ing data. It places the printer into a Hex Dump Mode. You can select three
styles of printouts for use as debugging tools. The selections are:

OFF:

Dump Mode is disabled. (Default selection)

Style1: Two column output. Text, spaces, and control codes are printed in
hexadecimal code format in one column and ASCII equivalents in another
column.

Style2: Only control codes are printed in hexadecimal format. ASCII charac-
ters are printed as is and escape sequences force a new line.

Config Menu

Following are explanations of each category and
parameter in the Config Menu. For all available
options under each parameter below, consult the
Help Menu printout. The categories here are
Printer, Codes, Graphics, Configurations, Serial
I/O, Parallel I/O, IntelliFilter, and when the
options are installed, Twinax/Coax and IPDS.

Printer Category

Use the Arrow and Enter keys to select

here.

Powerup

This parameter sets the printer either

Online

or

Offline

when the power switch

is turned on. The default is Offline.

Ser/Par Emulation

This parameter allows you to define which set of printer control commands will
be emulated for data received on the Serial and Parallel ports (except LAN-
IPDS).

Epson DFX-9000

is the default selection. Other selections include IBM

Proprinter III XL and MTPL.

LAN Emulation (LAN Interface only)

This parameter is used to select the emulation attached to the Ethernet port
when using the LANPlex interface. The options are the same as for the Ser/Par
Emulation.
