USING SETUP MODE

ONLINE SETUP MODE

The preceding sections describe offline setup mode. This section introduces

 

online setup mode. The tedious task of setting up printer features one-by-one

 

from the control panel and printing and checking the desired options on paper can

 

be avoided by using online setup mode. In online setup mode, printer features are

 

set via the computer rather than the printer control panel.

 

Put the printer in online setup mode, in either of the following two ways:

 

• Turn the printer off and then turn the printer back on while pressing

 

the MENU button. Hold down the button until the printer beeps.

 

• Issue the printer command ESC e ONLINE. This command is valid

 

in any emulation.

 

Send setup data from the computer in any of the following three ways:

 

• Enter setup data directly from the computer keyboard before starting

 

your job. With MS-DOS, hold down the Ctrl key and type P. Data

 

entered from the keyboard is sent directly to the printer. When data

 

entry is complete, hold down the Ctrl key again and type P. This

 

method is useful when just a few settings need to be changed.

 

• Use an editor program to prepare a setup data file and then send the

 

file to the printer using a command before starting your job. With

 

MS-DOS, use the COPY command. This method is useful when

 

settings are used repeatedly.

 

• Write a program that enables interactive entry of setup data on the

 

CRT screen. This method is the most useful of the three. Check with

 

your dealer for currently available programs.

 

To exit from online setup mode, send EXIT as the last setup data.

 

For details of setup data and its format, refer to the programmer's manual for

 

each emulation.
