*CHANGE MACRO

The 14 settings and their options shown in Table 2-1 control printing and printer operation. These settings are the heart of the SelecType system. (There are additional settings that can be changed in the *Change Defaults mode.) If you are unfamiliar with any of the terms in the table, consult the Glossary in the back of this manual.

The LQ-2500 uses a list of these settings, called the current printer settings, whenever it prints. This means there are actually six lists of settings stored in the printers memory-the current printer settings, the settings for each of the four macros, and the default settings (see the following section on *Change Defaults for more information).
