The Menu
Programming via the
control panel
Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications soft-
ware you use, you can also program the printer directly. There are
two programming options you can use:
`
Programming via the control panel.
`
Programming via the interface using Escape sequences or control
codes.
Settings made by escape sequences have priority over set-
tings made in menu mode; therefore they will override these.
Informations on Escape sequences can be found in
Appendix E,
Emulations
(page 119).
Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for de-
signing your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated
method and requires some experience with programming languag-
es 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.
Enabling access to
menu mode
On some printer models the menu can be locked by default to pro-
tect it from accidental or unauthorised access.
Proceed as follows to release this lock temporarily.
1. Switch off the printer for approx. 5 seconds.
2. Switch the printer on again keeping the Setup key pressed until
Selftest disappears from the display.
For information on how to enable access permanently and
about the available settings, refer to the section
Menu lock
(MenLock)
(page 56).
Calling up the menu
You can access the menu in the following way:
Press the Setup key. The printer switches to Setup mode. (The Set-
up mode can be selected both in the Online and Offline mode.)
To access the printer menu, press the key directly underneath the
word Menu (1).
