Changing Menu Values
With a Menu Item displayed on the LCD (such as Print Speed, Darkness or Baud Rate), pressing the
key allows you to adjust or select the Value of the Menu Item.
The and keys are used to increase or decrease a Value, such as the print speed or
printing position. If the Menu Item is an option that has a fixed set of values, s uch as the type of media
used, then pressing the and keys will cycle through the values in turn.
The action of the key while you are changing a Value depends on the particular Menu Item:
· If the Menu Item is a Value pr essing the or key st ores the value and returns to
the previous Menu Item.
· If the Menu Item is an action, such as a test print or head check, pressing the key
executes the action. Pressing the key returns to the previous Menu Item without executing
the action.
