SelecType ProblemsSelecType does not function as expected.Settings made with SelecType are ignored.

You may not have saved your settings before turning off or resetting the printer. Make sure you save your settings with the SYSTEM CONFIG option SAVE MACRO setting in SelecType Level 1 or with P-CONFIG SAVE in Level 2. Once you save Level 1 settings in a macro, you also select a correct macro number with POWERON MACRO, or SelecType settings return to their previously-saved default settings after you turn off or reset the printer.

You may have saved settings to the same macro number in two or more channels. Never save settings to the same macro number in different channels or the settings in one channel may affect the settings in another channel.

The software may either be changing the defaults on the printer or initializing the printer. This may require that you change the initialization sequence sent by your software. See your software manual for more information. You can probably make any necessary setting with your software.

You may be trying to set certain combinations of settings with SelecType that cannot be acted on by the printer. Usually, SelecType does not allow you to make incompatible combinations. However, certain combinations are not checked for compatibility until after you exit SelecType and set the printer on line. Others are not checked at all. See Chapter 4 for more information about SelecType.
