Fujitsu DL3800 manual Online Setup Mode

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.
