Using
Deciding Which Options to Change
The previous page shows a printout of the printer’s factory settings. In this printout, options are listed by functional group:
•MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 functions
•INSTALL function
•ADJUST function
•
Most selectable values only alter print features such as the type style and page format. Some values must be selected correctly for the printer to work properly with your hardware and software, however. For each function, the following table lists options whose values must be selected correctly for your system and printer.
Required Options
Function | Option | Value |
MACRO 1 | PROTOCOL | The protocol selected on the printer must be the same |
MACRO 2 |
| as the protocol selected in your software. If you |
|
| selected a protocol when you set up the printer, you |
|
| do not need to change the PROTOCOL option unless |
|
| you want to change to a different protocol. |
|
| For MACRO 1, the factory setting is PORT DEPND |
|
| (Port Dependent). This means that the active protocol |
|
| depends on which port is actually used by the printer. |
|
| The protocol for the serial port (PRTCL SERL) is |
|
| factory set to DEC PPL2, and the protocol for the |
|
| parallel port (PRTCL PARL) is factory set to |
|
| |
|
| For MACRO 2, the factory setting is also PORT |
|
| DEPND. The protocol for the serial port (PRTCL |
|
| SERL) is also set to DEC PPL2, but the protocol for |
|
| the parallel port (PRTCL PARL) is factory set to IBM |
|
| PPX24. |

ADJUST | FNFOLD ADJ | You can separately adjust the origin of the |
| MANUAL ADJ | Form for both continuous forms and single sheets. |
