SelecType Overview

The SelecType function on the printer control panel allows you to control many of the printer’s functions. Use SelecType’s menu- based system to change your printer’s configuration without using DIP switches and to select most font and print options without using software commands.

Your application program may send printer commands that temporarily override the SelecType settings. If you are not getting the results you expect, check your application software settings,

Note: New SelecType settings are in effect only until you turn off the printer, unless you save them with the Level 1 SYSTEM CONFIG option or the Level 2 P-CONFIG.SAVE option described later in this chapter.

SelecType is divided into two levels as shown below. Level 1 contains everyday printing and font selection functions, and Level 2 contains functions that are less likely to be changed frequently, such as printer mode and printer configuration. A brief description of each main menu option follows. See SelecType Options later in this chapter for detailed descriptions of all SelecType options.
