Programming via the
control panel
Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications software
you use, you can also program the printer directly. There are two pro-
gramming options you can use:
Programming via the control panel and
Programming via the interface using Escape sequences or control codes
Settings made by escape sequences have priority over settings
made in menu mode; therefore they will override these.
Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for desig-
ning your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated method
and requires some experience with programming languages and printer
control systems.
All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer,
whereas the programming carried out using the control panel, is saved
and stored even after you turn off the printer.
