5.2.3 Menu configurations

Every printer is shipped with factory default settings. Basic settings such as emulation,

character size, form length etc., which many applications make use of, are set. At the end

of this chapter you will find a menu printout which shows you the printer’s default

settings.

Your printer allows you to set and use five independent menu configurations. If one of

your applications, for example, requires an IBM printer while another program works

better with an EPSON printer, you can set an IBM emulation configuration with the

desired settings, and set the second configuration as an EPSON emulation.

The active menu is always the one you used last. When you switch on the printer for the

very first time, menu no. 1 is loaded. Menu no.1 only remains active until you load

another menu. The last active menu is stored even after the printer is switched off and is

reloaded automatically when the printer is switched on again.

For example, to change from menu no. 1 to menu no. 3:

Press Setup key.

Press Menu (1) key.

Press Menu (3) key.

Now the following message appears in the LC display:

Now press the < (2) or > (3) key repeatedly until Load

Menu=3

appears.

Then select menu no. 3 as the current setting using the Set

key

(1). The currently active setting is marked with an asterisk

(*).

f changing menus it is possible that the printer initializes due to different

mulation settings.
