Using Set-Up Mode

ChangingInstallOptions

The INSTALL function defines the printer’s installation conditions. You can select a language from five that are used to print menu functions and options during the Set-Up operation . You can adjust the start timing of auto loading or auto tear-off feeding. You can also change the operation of the error beep or allocation of the input buffer. If you are using the DEC-423 serial interface, you must set the serial interface options properly for the printer to function correctly with your system hardware.

The following table describes the INSTALL options and values . Options are listed in the order in which they are printed. For the procedure for changing the INSTALL options, see the early sections of this chapter.
