3 Configuring the Printer
3.1What is Configuring
This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set up or configure your so that the printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with each other.
Communication between the two requires that both the computer operating system and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The most important of those are:
Sprotocol,
Sbaud rate,
Sdata bits,
Sparity.
You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on your hardware and application requirements, for example:
Spaper handling
Stext processing.
The MENU mode allows you to access the configuration memory. All settings of the printer are stored in this memory and can be printed out on a list. The possible settings are discussed in detail in the following pages.
