Selections designated with a section symbol (§) will require a printer reset before becoming effective. A reset will be
automatically invoked when exiting the menu system and answering ‘Yes’ to the ‘Save Changes’ prompt. Changes made

diamond (♦) can only be changed through the menu system - all other selections can be overridden by host software
commands. Consult the Class Ser ies Programmer’s Manual for specific information.
