The Control Center

Overview

The Control Center is a utility program that does two things:

nAllows you to adjust settings to tailor output (e.g. scale, line width) from the computer.

nProvides an interface to send completed files to the printer.

Changing System Settings

A variety of settings are adjustable to fit specific needs:

nMake sure the printer power is on and that the initialization process is complete. The carriage will park, the keypad OK light will turn red and the Square light will turn green.

nThe Screen Menu displays the primary settings that are adjust- able. The Menu Bar contains utilities for setting up the Control Center and calibrating the printer.

nChanges only take effect after one of the Send buttons is pushed.
