CHAPTER 5: Configuration
5. Configuration
After installation and self-test, the Card is ready to operate in most
environments. The factory-default configuration settings are satisfactory for
many applications. The Card can also be configured to meet the special needs
of an application using the printer’s front panel (see
Section 5.1
) or host-
download commands (see
Section 5.2
).
5.1 Printer Front-Panel Setup
The printer’s front panel can be used to select various Card-configuration
settings. Refer to the Card’s self-test printout for a current listing of all of the
Card’s user-configurable options.
The Card supports HP printers with an MIO expansion slot. Each HP printer
has a slightly different method of making changes to the configuration.
Take the following steps to make any necessary changes (steps 2 and 3 will be

When the printer is in READY mode, take it off line by pressing the
ONLINE button until the light on the edge of the button goes out.
