Printek 850 Series manual Options Menu, Max Form Allowed

S P E C I F Y I N G F O R M S

This item selects whether the minimum I/O buffer size should be used. Setting this item to No will allow the printer to make maximum use of the I/O buffer (see “Paper Out Fault” on page 54 for more information on buffer size). Setting this to Yes may decrease performance, but is useful when using the printer with operating systems that try to keep track of which page is currently being printed by the printer.

Options Menu

The OPTIONS MENU contains items, which do not pertain only to a specific form or specific interface, but rather affect how the printer works under all conditions. To access the options menu, enter Setup and then press MENU until OPTIONS MENU is displayed

OPTIONS MENU

Note that the options menu has no submenus. Therefore, press the ALIGN/ITEM button to begin displaying the items available. The factory default values are indicated with an asterisk (*) in this manual (the asterisk does not appear on the printer’s display).

Maximum Form Allowed

Max Form

Allowed

Form 1

Possible Values: Form 0 … Form 1* … Form 9

This item sets the last form number to be displayed for operator selection with the UNLOAD/CHANGE button or while in the Forms Menu. This allows the operator to see only the forms that are in use rather than having to sort through several unused forms.

Note that when setting this value that you may not select a value less than the form currently selected when Setup was entered, or less than the form currently selected in the “Setup: FORMS” menu.
