PRINTER CONFIGURATION

Introduction To Setup

The PrintMaster 850 Series printers feature simple, easy to use menus for setting the various operating parameters for the printer. The parameters available in these menus usually only need to be set one time, either when the printer is first installed or perhaps when a new form is to be used. These values are stored in nonvolatile memory, which means that they will remain set even if the printer is turned off. Please note that, in an effort to minimize the total number of buttons and provide an uncluttered control panel, most buttons on the PrintMaster 850 Series printers are “context- sensitive”, i.e., their specific function is dependent on the present state of the printer or the menu level you happen to be in. For example, the Unload/Change button is used to unload forms or change the loaded form in the printer, depending on whether a form is loaded already. When in the Menu system with the Front Lid open, this same physical button serves as a “Down Arrow” button, allowing you to modify the settings of various printer parameters. The following sections give detailed descriptions of the buttons and the different functions they perform depending on the context. Following this introduction are complete, detailed descriptions of each menu item.
