Functions of the keys

When you enter Menu Setup Mode, the LCD displays “Main Menu” on the top line and Page Setup below.

In the menu setup mode, the four keys become “cursor keys” to navigate the menu. Refer to the four small arrows in the centre of the keypad rather than the names of the keys.

FEED key (Shift/Change)

The 5 key (Feed key) goes up the menu system or selects a higher value

MENU key (Shift/Change)

The key (Menu key) goes down the menu system or selects a lower value

STOP key (Enter/Save)

The 3 key (Stop key) selects or saves the item or enters a menu

PAUSE key (Exit)

The 2key (Pause key) exits the current item (goes back) and eventually exits the menu system

The menu settings are stored temporarily in the printer’s memory. They are only permanently stored in the printer setup when you exit the menu system and say “Yes” to the “Save Settings” question.

Caution

Turning the power off while the printer is performing the “Save Settings” function could cause a mis-save. Do not do this! If the power is accidentally turned off, first reset the printer to factory defaults.
