Deciding Which Options to Change

The previous page shows a printout of the printer’s factory settings. In this printout, options are listed by functional group:

•MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 functions

•INSTALLfunction

•ADJUSTfunction

•MENU-ACCESfunction

Most selectable values only alter print features, such as the type style and page format. However, some values must be selected correctly for the printer to work properly with your hardware and software. For each function, the following table lists options whose values must be selected correctly for your system and printer.

Required Options

Function	Option	Value
MACRO 1	PROTOCOL	The protocol selected on the printer must be the same
MACRO 2		as the protocol selected in your software. If you
		selected a protocol when you set up the printer, you
		do not need to change the PROTOCOL option unless
		you want to change to a different protocol.
		For MACRO 1, the factory setting is PORT DEPND (Port
		Dependent). This means that the active protocol
		depends on what port is actually used by the printer.
		The protocol for the serial port (PRTCL SERL) is
		factory set to DEC PPL2 and the protocol for the
		parallel port (PRTCL PARL) is factory set to EPSON-
		ESCP.
		For MACRO 2, the factory setting is also PORT DEPND.
		The protocol for the serial port (PRTCL SERL) is also
		set to DEC PPL2, but the protocol for the parallel port
		(PRTCL PARL) is factory set to IBM PPX24.
		See the section “Changing Macro 1 and Macro 2
		Options” later in this chapter.
ADJUST		You can separately adjust the origin of the Top-of-
	FNFOLD ADJ	Form for both continuous forms and single sheets.
	MANUAL ADJ	See the section “Adjusting Top-of-Form Origin” later
		in this chapter.
