Using
Macro 1 and Macro 2 Options and Values
•Overprinted values are the factory settings.
•Some settings are overridden by commands from the computer.
•Options that differ by protocol are described at the end of the table.
MACRO 1 and |
|
MACRO 2 Options Values | Description |
|
|
<PROTOCOL> | Select the same protocol as that selected by your |
| software. See step 6, “Connecting the Printer to Your |
| Host System,” in the Installation Guide for |
| information on selecting a protocol. |
DEC PPL2 | DEC PPL2 printers |
IBM PPX24 | – IBM Proprinter X24E printers (LA36N) |
| – IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA36W) |
EPSON ESCP | Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol |
AUTO | The printer automatically senses the active protocol. |
| This is useful when you use various applications in a |
| DOS or network environment and cannot determine |
| the protocol. The efficiency of this function relies on |
| the recognition of control sequences that are protocol |
| specific. If such control sequences are not detected in |
| the data string received, the printer may fail to |
| determine the proper protocol, providing an |
| unexpected result. |
PORT DEPND | The printer selects a protocol according to the active |
| interface (parallel or serial). See the next options. |
|
|
<PRTCL SERL> | Select a protocol for the serial interface. This is |
| invalid and skipped when PORT DEPND is not |
| selected for the <PROTOCOL> option. |
(Protocol Serial) DEC PPL2 | DEC PPL2 printers (factory setting for Macro 1 and |
| Macro 2) |
