2 Configuring With The

Control Panel

Introduction

IMPORTANT Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change the configuration of your printer until you are thoroughly familiar with the procedures in this chapter.

In order to print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of paper. The characteristics that define the printer's response to signals and commands received from the host computer are called configuration parameters. Examples are line spacing, form length, etc.

You can change the parameters by sending appropriate control codes, or by pressing keys on the control panel. Control codes offer more versatility, and they override control panel settings.

This chapter explains how to use the control panel.

Chapter 3 provides information about control codes.
