4.2 Reading the Display in Menu Mode

Printer status and operator call messages are shown on the display in uppercase lettering, preceded by a numerical code. Examples of such messages are 00 READY or 11 PAPER OUT. Menu Mode messages are displayed differently to distinguish differences between the menu selections, feature selections, and value selections.

NOTE: The menu names on the message display are written to accommodate all protocols available on the DEClaser 2100 printer (ANSI, PostScript, or CaPSL). Depending on the protocol being used, the menu names that appear on the message display may not read ``exactly'' as they do on Test Print A. For example, if you are using Digital's ANSI-Compliant Printing Protocol, the first menu listed on Test Print A is the FEEDER menu, but on the message it is displayed as the FONT/FEED menu.

4.2.1 Displaying Menu and Feature Selections

Menu and feature selections are scrolled to the left or right, and are shown on the display in groups of 16 characters. This means that in addition to the menu or feature you have selected, other characters are displayed from the next menu or feature. Think of the menu and feature selections as being placed on a scrolling band separated only by a space. The display shows a group of 16 characters from the band and denotes the selection by displaying it first with a cursor below the first letter. See the examples in Figure 4–2.
