1.5.2 Default Setting

Default setting mode enables users to change the default settings (initialization values). The set values are stored in the EEPROM and are not lost after the printer is turned off. To reset the values to the factory values, perform EEPROM reset operation or use the adjustment program described in Chapter 4.

1.5.2.1 Setting MethodSee Figure 1-11 for the default setting method.

Start

Press the "Media Type" button while turning on the printer.

The printer prints how to select the language for "Usage of this mode" and firmware version number.

1.Move through the languages listed by pressing the "Micro Adjust " button.

2.Set the language by pressing the "Pause" button.

The printer prints the current setting and "Usage of this mode" in the selected language on the currently loaded paper.

YES

Change the settings?

NO

1.Select the menu by pressing the "Micro Adjust " button.

2. Select the value for the selected menu by pressing the "Media Type" button

More change?

NO

Turn the printer off to save the new settings into the EEPROM.

Figure 1-11. Default Setting Flowchart

CAUTION

YES

Be sure to turn the printer off after the default setting operation is executed, since adjustment values are not stored in the EEPROM until the printer is turned off.

The latest values set before power-off are stored in the EEPROM.
