Using Macros
About Macros
A Macro is a set of pre-determined parameters allowing you to adapt your printer to your
particular need. Your printer comes with four different Macros. You can customize the four
Macros according to your specific needs by using Set-Up mode.
Note:
For more information about using Set-Up mode, see Chapter 6 "Configuring your
Printer".
In addition to the Macro, you also have to adapt the entire printer configuration by selecting other
parameters defining the interface, the installation, the user adjustments etc. For the LA400
MultiPrinter, such parameters are called Values. These Values are sorted within Functions,
Options and Sub-options. The Macro is one of the Functions within the printer Configuration.
The Macro Options are described in Chapter 7 "Customizing Macros".
