Using Set-Up Mode

Points to Remember

We recommend that you use continuous forms paper for printing in the Set-Up mode because it will not end within a single page. To load paper, use the FF/Load button. To adjust the line position of the paper in the Set-Up mode, use the platen knob.

Whenever you enter the Set-Up mode, short help menus are printed at the top of the page. Help menus are also printed when you select the TESTS function. Use help menus for quick reference while in the Set-Up mode.

When printing the options and values for each function, you can move either forward or backward in the option list. To move forward (print the next option), press

the button. To move backward (print the previous option), press the button. You can skip printing the value list for the undesired options by pressing and holding down these buttons.

While in the <FUNCTIONS> menu or when selecting a function that contains options and selectable values, press the Exit/Save button to reprint the <FUNCTIONS> menu. In this case, the red cursor is positioned beneath SAVE&EXIT.

A bolded (overprinted) value indicates that it is the current setting. An underlined value indicates a selected setting.

While in the Set-Up mode, you can use the PRINT function to print out a list of the currently selected values (see the next section for details).

To exit the Set-Up mode and permanently save your changes, select the SAVE&EXIT function. For details, see the section “Exiting and Saving” later in this chapter

To exit the Set-Up mode and temporarily use your changes, press the Set-Up/Quitbutton. Your previous power-on settings are active when you turn the printer on again.

Printing the Printer Configuration

The PRINT function prints a list of all the printer’s currently selected values. This function is useful for checking the printer settings when you first enter the Set-Up mode or just before you exit. To print a list of values, load continuous forms paper, enter the Set-Up mode, and then select the PRINT function. The printer starts to print a list of the currently selected values. The preselected factory settings are shown on the opposite page.

When the printer finishes printing the list of values, it reprints the <FUNCTIONS> menu.

Caution: To remove the printout, turn the platen knob until the paper can be torn off at the perforation. In the Set-Up mode, you cannot use the printer tear-off feature (Pause button).

Select another function or exit the Set-Up mode, saving any changes you made. For details about other functions, see the other sections in this chapter. To exit the Set-Up mode and save your changes, make sure that the red cursor is positioned beneath SAVE&EXIT, then press the button or the button.
