4 The Configuration Menus

Overview

Once you have familiarized yourself with the configuration process using the tutorial information in Chapter 3, you are ready to complete your configuration of the printer. This chapter provides descriptions for each parameter. Figure 44 shows the main configuration menu.

Configuration Main Menu

Brief descriptions follow for the first-level configuration menu options:

CONFIG. CONTROL. These options allow you to save, print, load, and delete entire sets of configuration parameters. These options are described briefly in this chapter and covered in detail in Chapter 3.

ACTIVE EMULATION. This menu allows you to select either the LG (Digital) emulation or the LinePrinter Plus emulation as the current operating emulation for your printer. If the IGP/PGL or IGP/VGL optional upgrade is installed, then IGP/PGL & LP+ or IGP/VGL & LP+ can be selected as the active emulation.

EMULATION. This menu allows you to configure the options available for the currently active emulation. For example, if LG is the active emulation, then the LG emulation options can be configured using this menu.

MAINT / MISC. These options provide miscellaneous functions, such as printing a hex dump, selecting a display language, and choosing whether the printer will power up in the offline or online state.

HOST INTERFACE. These options allow you to select either the Serial RS-232, Serial RS-422, Centronics parallel, Dataproducts parallel, or IEEE 1284 parallel interface for the printer (which must match the interface cabling you installed while setting up your printer, described in Chapter 2). This menu also allows you to configure several parameters for each interface.

PRINTER CONTROL. These options allow you to select several operating parameters for the printer, such as the speed at which paper will advance when slewing.

DIAGNOSTICS. These options include the diagnostic tests, system memory, and statistics of the printer.

RIBBONMINDER. The options in this submenu allow you to enable the RibbonMinder™ feature and set its parameters.
