5.2 Features and Values
Each of the LA75 Plus’s features stored in its set-up memory has at least two
values. (See Section 7.4 in Chapter 7). A value is an option or choice within
each feature.
The features are organized into three groups as follows:
Generic
DEC (specific to Digital protocol)
X24 (specific to IBM Proprinter X24E)
When you are in set-up mode, you can change the value for any feature.
Changing the set-up memory changes the way the printer runs and how it
communicates with your host computer.
The following example illustrates the difference between a feature and a value:
The set-up menu gives you seven choices for the baud-rate feature. Baud rate
is the speed at which the printer can receive data from your host computer.
The printer’s baud rate is factory-set at 4800 bits per second.
If your host computer’s baud rate is set at 1200 bits per second, you will
need to change the LA75 Plus’s baud rate from 4800 to 1200 in order to have
accurate communication between your host computer and the printer.
In this example, baud rate is the feature; 4800 and 1200 are the values.
