Changing And Saving Parameter Settings
You may change a printer parameter setting, such as line spacing
or forms length, either by pressing keys on the control panel or by
sending emulation control codes in the data stream from a host
attached to the printer. The control panel allows you to configure
the printer’s resident set of configuration menus. An example
procedure for using the control panel to change parameter settings
begins on page 92.
When control codes are sent from a host attached to the printer,
they override control panel settings. For example, if you set the line
spacing to 6 lpi with the control panel, and application software later
changes this to 8 lpi with a control code, the control code overrides
the control panel setting.
The parameter settings that you have changed using the menus
and control codes can be permanently stored in the printer's
memory if you use the “Save Config.” menu option. If you do not
save your changes, they will be lost when the printer is powered off.
You may also save your new configurations using the PTX_SETUP
command host control code. See your
LinePrinter Plus
Programmer’s Reference Manual
for details.
Default And Custom Configurations
A configuration consists of a group of parameter settings, such as
line spacing, forms length, etc. Your printer provides a fixed default
configuration and allows you to define several custom
configurations for use with particular print jobs.
The factory default configuration can be loaded, but it cannot be
altered.
Eight configurations can be modified for unique print job
requirements. The “Save Config.” option allows you to save eight
groups of parameter settings in memory as custom configurations
numbered from 1 through 8. An explanation on how to save a set of
parameter values as a custom configuration using the “Save
Config.” menu option begins on page 94.
