Configuring the Printer

3.1What is Configuration?

This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set up or configure your printer, so that the printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with each other.

Communication between the two requires that both, the computer operating system and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The most important of those are:

•bit/character

•baud rate

•parity

•stop bits

•DSR

You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on your hardware and application requirements, for example:

•special forms

•paper handling

The MENU MODE allows you to access the configuration memory. All settings of the printer are stored in this memory and can be printed. The possible settings are described in detail on the following pages. A detail description of all Menu settings you will find in paragraph 3.4 Menu Setup Description.

The standard parameter setting can be printed by using the function PRINT MENU. The following steps show which keys to use to start this printout.
