Printing

3.To change to a resident font, see the next section. Otherwise, press the Pause button to return the printer to the Ready state. You are ready to print using the selected macro.

Note: The active Macro at power-off remains active at next power-up.

Switching Macros and Selecting Features on the Control Panel

When you switch from one macro to another, each modification you made using the control panel for the Top-of-Form option or the Protocol option is lost, and the values of these options stored in the new macro become active.

This behavior does not apply to the Font selection. If you have changed a font using the control panel before changing the macro, this font will still remain active, overriding the font set in the new macro.

For example, assume that Macro 1 is set to Draft and Macro 2 to Courier. You switch the Font selection of Macro 1 from Draft to Prestige using the Font button. When you switch the Macro selection from Macro 1 to Macro 2, Prestige will remain active, overriding the Courier set in Macro 2.

The following tables list default values of options for print features. The former is for options in Macro 1 and Macro 2 and the latter is for options independent of Macro selection.
