Configuring the Printer
4.1 What is Configuration?
This chapter describes how to set up or configure the LA310 MultiPrinter, so
that the printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with
each other, and so that the printer suits your requirements.
Communication between the printer and computer requires each to have
the same communication settings or features. The most important of these
are protocol, baud rate, data bits, parity and communication port. You may
also need to change some of the printer’s other features depending on your
hardware and software requirements. (See Section 4.4 for a complete list of
printer features.)
For further details on the structure of the Set-up menus, refer to Appendix G,
Set-up Menu Structure.
4.2 Structure of the Set-up Menus
When you enter Set-up mode, the Set-up Directory menu is displayed. From
the Set-up Directory menu, you can enter the Main Menu for each option
that is displayed on the Set-up Directory menu. At each main menu there are
several levels of submenus.
Set-up mode allows you to access the LA310 MultiPrinter’s configuration
memory. The memory stores a list of all values, both factory defaults and
user-defined settings. The Set-up controls, which are discussed in Section 4.3,
allow you to access Set-up mode.
