ADJUSTING THE PRINTER SETTINGS

INTRODUCTION

Selectype Mode (Printer Setup Mode - Function 35)

Printer setup mode (also called Selectype mode) is divided into two levels of features.

Level 1 contains commonly-used printing and font selection features.

Level 2 contains printer mode and printer configuration adjustments that you may not wish to use so often.

Note: In many cases, your application software will override the Selectype settings. If you are getting unexpected results, check your application software settings.

To view the current settings of your printer, print the status sheet (see page 9).

Note: Any changes that you make to the settings will be erased if you switch the power off, unless you save the new settings.

To save your Level 1 settings, use the SAVE MACRO feature of the SYSTEM CONFIG menu (see page 31).

To save your Level 2 settings, use the P-CONFIG SAVE feature (see page 41).

Level 1 Features

One of the following features appears in the display when you enter Level 1. Scroll through the list with the and keys until you see the feature that you need.

INPUT: This feature has no effect on the printer’s operation; do not use it.

PAGE SIZE: Use this to specify the size of paper that is being used.

COPIES: Use this to select the number of copies to be printed. This setting is only ef- fective for copies of documents output in printer interface mode.

ORIENT.: Use this to select the printing orientation: portrait (vertical) or landscape (hori- zontal)

FONT: Use this to select a font from those available in the current emulation mode.

STATUS SHEET: Use this to print a list of the current printer settings.

FONT SAMPLE: Use this to print the fonts that are available in the current emulation mode.

SUB CONFIG.: This menu allows you to control settings within the current emulation mode that can be adjusted.

SYSTEM CONFIG.: This menu contains routines for memory allocation, remaining memory space display, printer offset, and macros to store your Level 1 settings.

S:P: This prompt asks you which channel you wish to adjust. This is only seen if you have set up both the serial and parallel channels using the Level 2 CH feature, and se- lected the Individual mode (see page 38).
