5. Configuration

After installation and self-test, the Card is ready to operate in most environments. The factory-default configuration settings are satisfactory for many applications. The Card can also be configured to meet the special needs of an application using the printer’s front panel (see Section 5.1) or host- download commands (see Section 5.2).

5.1 Printer Front-Panel Setup

The printer’s front panel can be used to select various Card-configuration settings. Refer to the Card’s self-test printout for a current listing of all of the Card’s user-configurable options.
