Configuring the Printer
5.1 What is Configuration?
This chapter describes how to set up or configure the LA75 Plus, so that the
printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with each other.
Communication between the two requires that both the computer operating
system and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The
most important of these are protocol, baud rate, and data bits and parity. You
may also need to change some of the printers other features depending on
your hardware and software requirements. (See Chapter 7 for a complete list
of printer features.)
Set-up mode allows you to access the LA75 Plus’s configuration memory. The
memory stores a list of all the printer’s features and values, as well as the
values that you have chosen to run the printer. The set-up controls which are
discussed in Section 5.3, allow you to access set-up mode.
