MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 Options and Values

•Overprinted values are the factory settings.

•Some settings are overridden by commands from the computer.

•Options that differ with protocols are described at the end of the table.

MACRO 1 and
MACRO 2 Options Values	Description

<PROTOCOL>	Select the same protocol as is selected in your
	software. See step 6 “Connecting the Printer to Your
	Host System” in the Installation Guide for
	information on selecting a protocol.
DEC PPL2	DEC PPL2 printers
IBM PPX24	– IBM Proprinter X24E printers (LA36N)
	– IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA36W)
EPSON ESCP	Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol
AUTO	Printer automatically senses the active protocol. This
	is useful when you use various applications in a DOS
	or network environment and so you cannot determine
	the protocol. The efficiency of this function relies on
	the recognition of control sequences that are protocol
	specific. If such control sequences are not detected
	in the data string received, the printer may fail to
	determine the proper protocol, providing an
	unexpected result.
PORT DEPND	Printer selects a protocol according to the active
	interface (parallel or serial). See the next options.

<PRTCL SERL>

(Protocol Serial)

Select a protocol for the serial interface. This is invalid and skipped when PORT DEPND is not selected for the <PROTOCOL> option.
