4–2 Printer Configuration
Printer Configuration
IMPORTANT
Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change the con-
figuration of your printer until you are thoroughly familiar with the pro-
cedures in this chapter.
Configuration refers to the operating properties that define how the printer
responds to signals and commands received from the host computer. These
properties, the configuration parameters, are set to match the operating
characteristics of the host computer system.
Most configuration parameters are selected at the control panel. Some
parameters can be set either by a control code from the host computer or at
the control panel. In such cases, a host–generated command will override the
control panel selection. (If you save configuration values after such an
override, the control code value is saved, not the value you selected at the
control panel.)
Configuration Printout
The configuration printout lists the configuration parameters currently in use.
Figure 4–1 shows a typical configuration printout. When the printer exits
configuration printout mode all print attributes are canceled. All other format
parameters remain unaffected.
To obtain a configuration printout:
1. If the printer is on–line, press the ON LINE switch to place it off–line.
Raise the printer cover.
2. Press the UP and DOWN switches simultaneously to unlock the panel.
“Unlocked” appears momentarily.
3. Press NEXT until “Off–line/Print Config” appears on the message
display.
4. Press the R/S (Run/Stop) switch. The configuration listing prints.
5. Press UP and DOWN simultaneously to lock the panel. “Locked”
appears momentarily.
6. Press CLEAR and close the printer cover.
