Fujitsu DL3800 manual Using Setup Mode

USING SETUP MODE		5
Your printer has two modes: normal and setup.
Normal mode is used for everyday printer opera-
tions and is explained in Chapters 3 and 4.
Setup mode serves two purposes. It enables you to:
•	Select the printer’s optional settings
•	Help diagnose printer problems

These setup mode functions can be done either offline, using the printer control panel (offline setup), or remotely, using a setup program in your computer system or software (online setup). Prima- rily, this chapter explains how to use the offline setup mode. The online setup mode, which is reviewed briefly at the end of this chapter, is valid in all emulations. For details, refer to the programmer's manuals.

Optional settings on the printer include the emulation, fonts, pitch, page length and page width, serial interface options, and the top-of- form setting. When you save your settings in the printer’s permanent memory, they become the new settings or defaults. These defaults are invoked whenever you turn on the printer. For example, if you save DPL24C PLUS as the default emulation, DPL24C PLUS is invoked when you turn on the printer.

The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT. These functions are helpful for printer trouble-shooting, as described in Chapter 7.
